Secretary Bessent said that “student engagement is critical” to shaping the future of technology.
The Department of the Treasury hosted Liberty University students and faculty for a Summit on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Energy, and Emerging Technologies late last month. The event brought students, government leaders, and industry experts together to explore the changes emerging technologies are making in the economic and public sectors.
“There has never been a better time to build and innovate in America,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Given the global importance of AI, student engagement is critical as we work to provide the next generation with the opportunity—and responsibility—to help shape how it is used.”
The summit addressed frontier AI, energy, workforce productivity, and financial literacy, and discussions centered on advancing AI-driven economic growth, powering the infrastructure needed to scale emerging technologies, and unlocking productivity across the American workforce.
