Silverado Policy Accelerator chair and co-founder Maureen Hinman joins Washington AI Network founder Tammy Haddad for a conversation on AI infrastructure, critical minerals, energy resilience, and the race for technological leadership. Hinman sounds the alarm on America’s need to accelerate investment in clean energy and critical minerals supply chains or risk ceding strategic ground to adversaries.
On this episode of the Washington AI Network Podcast, recorded live at the Special Competitive Studies Project’s AI+Expo, host Tammy Haddad interviews Silverado Policy Accelerator co-founder and executive chair Maureen Hinman about the high-stakes race to power America’s AI future. As Congress weighs the 269-page Great American Artificial Intelligence Act and the nation faces an AI-driven energy demand surge, Hinman issues a stark warning: America's ability to lead in artificial intelligence depends not just on software and models, but on solving foundational problems in energy infrastructure, critical minerals supply chains, and a permitting system built for a different era.
