Krach Institute CEO Michelle Giuda joined Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC Squawk Box to discuss the White House's emerging AI security framework and America's dual mandate: becoming the global capital of AI while protecting our national security.

Michelle Giuda joined Bloomberg Tech to discuss what it will take for the United States to lead in artificial intelligence.

While growing coordination between Silicon Valley and Washington is an important step forward, Giuda noted that leadership in AI cannot be limited to those two centers.

“To lead in AI, this can’t be a two-city story,” she said. “It has to include every American in between — and the allies we need to win with.”

As AI continues to evolve, leadership will depend not only on innovation, but on adoption, scale, and collaboration across borders.
