From the kitchen table to the Situation Room, AI is reshaping American life. The 2027 program follows that change from today's tools to tomorrow's superintelligent systems.
The transition from artificial intelligence to superintelligence may be the defining shift of our time. Sessions examine frontier capability, the path beyond human-level systems, alignment and safety, compute and energy at scale, and the national strategy that keeps America and our allies in the lead.
Technology changes people, and people change technology. This theme studies AI as a human story: how families, workers, students, and communities adopt it, resist it, and reshape it, and what that means for trust, culture, identity, and the social contract.
Capability means little without good decisions. Lawmakers, agency leaders, builders, and researchers meet to connect the technology to the policy that governs it and the impact it delivers in jobs, services, security, and quality of life.
