Layer 6 AI: Mediating Intelligence Economist's Norman Macrae's Future Vision in 1983 published 2025Report usa 1985 -extract chapter 6
2005-8: The of Centrobank THe INrRoDUcrIoN of the international Centrobank was the last great act of governfnent before governments grew much less important. It was not a conception of policy-making governments at all, but emerged from the first computerized town meeting of the world. By 2005 the gap in income and expectations between the rich and poor nations was recognized to be man's most dangerous problem. The satellite TC system and two-way cable television channels in sixty-eight countries invited their viewers to participate in a computer conference about it, in the form of a series of weekly TC programs. Recommendations tapped in by viewers were to be tried out on a computer model of the world economy. If recommendations were shown by the model to be likely to make the world economic situation worse, they were lntroduction t sl l THE 2025 REPORT to be discarded. If recommendations were reported by the model to make the economic situation in poor couptries better, they were to be retained for "ongoing computer analysis" in the next program. In 2025 it is easy to see this as a forerunner of the TC conferences which play so large a part in our lives today, both as pastime and as the principal innovative device in business. But the truth about this 2005 breakthrough tends to irk the highbrows. It succeeded because it was initially a rather downmarket network television program. This is illustrated by the fact that the two gold-medal-winning telecommuters who were eventually acclaimed for contributing most to Centrobank's birth were Mr. S. C. Hu, the thoughtful and rich retired merchant of Taipeh in Taiwan, and Mr. Bjorn Heglund, the earnest young subpostmaster from the Kiruna district of north Sweden. Neither would conceivably have been consulted if a conference on the subject had been called mainly among the best-educated economists of 2005. About 400 million people watched the first program, and 3 million individuals or groups tapped in suggestions. Around 99 per cent of these were rejected by the computer as being likely to increase the unhappiness of mankind. It became known that these rejects included suggestions submitted by the World Council of Churches (whose "Charter 2006" was reported by the computer to be likely to increase unhappiness among 87 per cent of the population of the world) and by many other pressure groups. This still left 31,000 suggestions that were accepted by the computer model as worthy of ongoing analysis. As these were honed, and details were added to the most interestitg, an exciting consensus began to emerge. Later programs were watched by nearly a billion people as it became recognized that something important was being born. These audiences were swollen by successful telegimmicks. The presenter of the opening part of the first program was a roly-poly professor who was that year's Nobel laureate in economics, and who proved a natural television personality. He explained that economists now agreed that aid programs could 52 2005-8: The Introduction of Centrobank sometimes help poor countries, but sometimes most definitely made their circumstances worse. When Mexico was inflating at over 80 per cent a year in the early 1980s, the inflow to it of huge loanable funds made its inflation even faster and its crash more certain. The professor set Mexico's 1979-81 economy on the model, pumped in the loaned funds and showed how all the indicators (higher inflation, lower real gross domestic product, and so on) then flashed red, signalling an economy getting worse, rather than green, signalling an economy getting better. He followed this with similar examples from several other poor countries in Latin America and Africa during 1950-85. The professor then put the model back to mirror the contemporary world economy of 2005, and played into it various nostrums that had been recommended by politicians of left, right and center, but mostly left. The dials generally flashed red. Then the professor provided another set of recommendations, and asked any viewers who wished to play to tap in their own guesses for the consequent movements in twenty economic variables in the model. Those who got their guesses right to within a set error were told they had qualified for the second round of a knock-out economic guesstimators' world championship. Knock-out competitions of this sort continued for ordinary users of two-way TCs throughout the series of programs. In the second part of that first program the presenters dared to introduce two political problems into the game. They said that government-to-government aid programs had been particularly popular among politicians during the age of overgovernment, but there was growing agreement that government- to-government aid was the worst method of hand-out. The excessive role played by governments in many poor countries was one of the barriers to their economic advance, and a main destroyer of their people's freedom. Could anybody think it would have been wise to give aid to President Mbogo? In consequence, the most successful economic aid programs had been those operated through the International Monetary Fund, which imposed conditions on how borrowing governments should operate. The professor showed that IMF-moni- 53 THE 2025 REPORT tored operations in most years had brought more green flashes from the model than red, which few other sorts of schemes had done. But this involved IMF officials-often from the rich countries- in telling governments of poor countries what to do; and one of the objectives of the initiative called for by President Kennedy was precisely to diminish such embarrassments. The first questions to be asked in the next few programs, said the compilers, were (l) which countries should qualify for aid?; and, having decided that , (2) up to what limits and conditions?; and (3) through what mechanisms? They promised that later programs after the first half-dozen would examine how any scheme could be used to diminish the power of governments and increase the power of free markets and free people. The first stage of this computerized town meeting of the world went remarkably well. A consensus quickly emerged that poor countries which agreed to join a club with certain libertarian nrles (the principal ones were that markets instead of politicians should set prices; there should be fairly free trade, and fairly free immigration of people and businesses from countries richer than themselves; human rights cases should be referred to an international supreme court) could also have access to the benefits of a new international central bank called the "Centrobank." The Centrobank should be a body which relied very little on the discretion of its governor, but much more on a computer program. This program should authorize the Centrobank to print enough new foreign exchange called bancor for any applicant country below a certain income per head to allow its internal economic growth to proceed at the fastest possible noninflationary pace but not by one penny faster. The Centrobank's computer would monitor each recipient country's economy to see if inflationary or other strains were appearing, and would signal that Centrobank must cut off new supplies of artificially created foreign exchange if they did. Contemporary critics said in triple self-contradiction that (a) this scheme was so insulting to poor countries' governments 54 2005-8: The Introduction of Centrobonk that few would agree to join it; (b) all poor countries would flock to eat at this trough and there would be an impossibly inflationary expansion of world money supply; and that (c) the anti-inflationary terms proffered from the international central bank were so tough that this would still allow only painfully slow economic depauperization. Now that the Centrobank has been in operation for nearly twenty years we know that the answer to (a) is that the government of any poor country that does not join Centrobank is likely to be booted out by its people; that the answer to (b) is that, despite this flood of countries into the scheme, newly created foreign exchange for poor countries has in only one year,2Ol3, exceeded 0.2 per cent of world-wide money supply (WM3); and that the answer to (c) is that progress proved remarkably fast, although that was partly because of the answers that emerged to the second set of questions posed in the next few programs. The second set of questions which arose after about the eighth program rested on what sorts of purchases should qualify for Centrobank payments. Originally the notion had been that the international Centrobank should open foreign exchange clearing accounts to finance non-inflationary purchases by any persons or any groups in qualifying poor countries. The stated aim was that a poor country should not be prevented merely by shortage of foreign exchange from pursuing the fastest possible rate of non-inflationary economic growth. But under the remorseless logic of the computer a bias was soon introduced in favor of financing purchases by citizens in poor countries rather than purchases by their governments.It became clear that projects by cost-disregarding governments in poor countries led more quickly to inflation than projects undertaken either (a) by penny-pinching native entrepreneurs (who began to apPear out of the woodwork in some profusion and in extraordinary places); or (b) by competing multinational corporations on new sorts of performance contracts. If you ask your TCs today, "What were the main evil con- 55 THE 2025 REPORT sequences of the colonial and immediate post-colonial periods in the poor two-thirds of the world?" two of the top answers will be: "The fact that an entrepreneurial class could not emerge as an important political constituency until the introduction of Centrobank after 200 5 :' and "The fact that until Centrobank no mechanism except uncompetitive government was put in place to meet many of the most urgent demands of the poorest three-quarters of the peopl e." Centrobank's solution to the first of these problems owed much to the proposals from Mr. Hu; its solution to the second problem owed much to the proposals from Mr.Heglund. Start with why Mr. Hu's proposals for encouraging entrepreneurs were so important. Growth had taken place in Europe and Japan and North America after 1850 because an entrepreneurial commercial class had become a dominant political influence, replacing the aristocracies in Europe and Japan and the mhlange misdescribed by de Tocqueville in North America. In the immediate post-colonial period in the poor countries circa 1960-2005 power fell instead into the hands of a new class of professional politicians , dt a time when they could temporarily do damaging things inconceivable for professional politicians before or (thank God) since. Their most damaging act was to set "political" instead of market prices. By statutory decree in many poor countries exchange rates and urban wages had been kept too high, food prices to farmers and prices for public utilities kept too low, credit had been allocated by rationin g at negative real interest rates, and imports had been rationed by licences that were immensely profitable to the politicians' brothers-in-law who were corruptly granted them. Even in 2005 every single computer program showed that living standards were increased, inflation brought down, and huppiness and efticiency advanced, when these policies were abandoned. So did every practical example. Call up on your TCs the practical example of Taiwan in the second half of the twentieth century; analysis of its success was the basis for Mr. Hu's proposals for Centrobank. Taiwan in 56 ,N -; .I, tII 20054: The Introduction of Centrobank 1950-2000 had multiplied its real income twentyfold and its dollar exports four-hundredfold because in the 1950s an invading warlord and his soldiers had been impelled by odd circumstances into laissez-faire economic policies against their will; and because Taiwan had thereafter been kept dynamically entrepreneurial largely because of nasty protectionism by rich countries against its exports. When in 1948 the armies of General Chiang Kai-shek fled from the Chinese mainland to Taiw&r, swelling its population overnight, they found an island which relied for over 90 per cent of its exports on rice and sugar. These were two commodities whose sales could not be greatly increased on world markets by dropping their international price. It therefore seemed natural to the incoming soldiers to follow the mistaken policies adopted by so many other authoritarian governments in poor countries all through 1950-2005. For a while they exploited the farmers by keeping internal farm prices too low and Taiwan's international exchange rate artificially high. The soldiers also granted cheap credits to themselves to set up manufacturing businesses. The results of such folly were the usual ones: food production and exports fell; inflation soared to three-digit figures; and foreign exchange holdings collapsed despite huge American aid. The soldiers met this by restricting imports further to protect their infant industries and their disappearing exchange reserves; this sent inflation even higher. As sugar and rice production used up much land in the overcrowded island, real estate prices in particular went through the roof. This economic mess was sadly typical of many newly independent countries at the time, but Taiwan was lucky in being newly dependent instead. General Chiang Kai-shek was at this time entirely dependent politically on the Americans, and he unwillingly agreed to propitiate them by accepting their good advice. He moved in the late 1950s pretty abruptly from the then usual developing-country wrong policies (low prices to farmers; protected home market for manufactures but overvalued exchange rate; subsidized interest rates) to the unfash- 57 THE 2025 REPORT ionable and precisely opposite right policies (market prices for farmers and market-determined exchange rates and interest rates; trade liberalization). The results exceeded all expectations. With its market-determined exchange rate, Taiwan found that its cheap-labor exports of umbrellas et cetera expanded smoothly-until foreign umbrella-makers objected to Taiwan's penetration of their domestic markets; then Taiwan's expansion in that particular product would abmptly stop. So Taiwan grew through its industrial miracle of 1955-2005 knowing that its businesses must find new products for new markets all the time, and that last year's successful firm would often have to close down this year. In consequence of its recognition that bureaucrats cannot know what will be profitable next minute, Taiwan subsidized only one thing apart from its over-large army: its tax and social nonwelfare policies were directed to raising savings from 5 per cent of national income in the 1950s to a Japan-beating 25 per cent in the 1980s. Mr. Hu recommended that the policies furthered by Centrobank in poor countries should be those that had "been furthered by accident in my country, Taiwan:' and he suggested some of the relevant software by which the Centrobank's computer model could put these incentives into effect. He was rather too inclined to argue that "anybody who does not follow these policies should not get Centrobank aid," but the process of ongoing computer analysis synthesized most of this into the messag€, "If you are following Taiwan-type polici€s, then the computer will allow a much higher level of internal expansion before it flashes the signal that inflation is being fostered so that further Centrobank creation for you must stop." As the coordinating Nobel laureate said when presenting Mr. Hu with one of the two gold medals: His software provided one of the two quantum leaps that turned Centrobank into a success. Although the 1955-2005 Taiwan-type policies hugely expanded national income, the pressure groups in favor of them are entrepreneurs who do 58 2005J; The Introduction of Centrobank not come into being until the policies have already been introduced. In most poor countries that have been following the old and opposite policies of import substitution and pricerigging, the political constituencies in favor of the old policies are by definition more powerful. This is a main reason why these old-fashioned countries remain poor. In some Latin American countries right-wing generals have periodically seized power, and put into effect policies that are supposed to be laissez-faire. But these generals generally have to rely for their political mandate on the few old families who already own big businesses in these countries. Even with the best will in the world (which these right-wing generals rarely have) they tend therefore to support and protect yesterday's big capitalists, rather than the grubby entrepreneurs in back rooms on whom growth most depends. Mr. Hu's proposals managed to make Centrobank's computer programs mirror the dependence on entrepreneurs created by historical accident in the 1950-2005 success stories of Japan (which ploughed through yesterday's powerful families in 1945 and had to rely on entrepreneurs thereafter), Singapore (which benefited from not having any farmers or mral classes to exploit), Hong Kong (which did not have any political constituencies, only entrepreneurs) and Taiwan. Although Mr. Hu was rightly decorated for "enabling Centrobank policies to speak with a Taiwanese accent," the later stages of the first computerized town meeting of the world were carried on more like one of today's many million computer conferences than like the original television network program in which Mr. Hu joined. People after about program fourteen did not put in their views instantly, but after some days' consideration and after checking with the database which showed what was the presumed best form for Centrobank at the moment. The computer still rejected the 99 per cent of proposals made to it that were nonsense; it still incorporated for ongoing analysis the less than 1 per cent of suggestions that seemed sensible and relevant; but it also now introduced a new cate- 59 THE 2025 REPORT gory. It picked up those contrary views that seemed plausibly sensible, but not suitable for the emerging form of Centrobank's consensus, and put proposers of such ideas in touch with people holding similar views around the world. From the views of this constructive opposition to "Hu plus 33,I79 people's telecommunicated and accepted improvements," one new consensus objection began to emerge. "f,Jnder the Taiwanese system," wrote one objector, "the main incentive to entrepreneurs in poor countries is to produce for fairly rich consumers, abroad or at home. If most of the seventy to eighty countries in the Centrobank scheme started exporting cheap-labor umbrellas as Taiwan did in the 1950s , a glut of umbrellas would rather soon appear. It would be better if new entrepreneurs could be encouraged to provide more of the things desperately needed by the poorest three-quarters of the people in these poor lands." How to do this? It was no good saying that poor countries should follow more egalitarian tax policies so as to direct more of their internal demand to things needed by their own poorest people. In the United States in the second half of the twentieth century, marginal tax rates generally took around one half of earned incomes above about six times gross national product per head. Even this only managed to reduce Gini coefficients, the best measure of wealth inequality, from something like 0.39 to something like 0.34. In Africa in 2000 GNP per head was around $500 a year. Any egalitarian tax policy which promised to halve all incomes above $3,000 a year would have (a) killed all initiative; (b) stirred politicians' brothers-in-law, civil servants and-most important-army officers (who got over $3,000 a year) into instant coups d'€tat Moreover, ro mechanisms existed in these countries to provide cheaply the complicated services the very poor needed most urgently. This was the problem that benefited from the proposals of Bjorn Heglund, who had long urged that the public services needed in his native North Sweden should be provided competitively by private entrepreneurs on performance contracts, along the lines of experiments which had been tried in the 1990s 60 20054: The Introduction of Centrobank by various worthy Swedish international aid organizations which "adopted" certain Third World villages. As was said at the presentation of Heglund's gold medal: We at Centrobank began to realize that poor countries could best grow richer by selling simple cheap-labor goods to the rich world-a process that did not involve them in using our proffered foreign exchange at all, although it had become possible only after they responded to Centrobank's initial incentives d la "Hu plus 33,179." The right way to use their new foreign exchange was often to provide mechanisms d la Heglund whereby Western firms are encouraged to make money by providing the services that the poorest three-quarters in the poor world most need. The time was ripe for this experiment, especially in such fields as medicine. The trend even in the West at this time was to new sorts of Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), through which people paid performance fees to physicians and their assistants if they kept them pnd their families healthy. It was early decided to put the competitive services provided by multinational HMOs into the pool which would qualify for Centrobank payments. Sophisticated computer measurements of people's health were coming into fashion, and three young doctors just out of medical school at the University of Minneapolis drew the largest single Centrobank payment in 2009 when their HMO, resting heavily on telecommunicated X-rays and long-range computer analyses, plus quickly trained local paramedics and some helicopter- carried Western doctors on call, plus recommended dietary changes and some environmental changes which new staffs personally put into effect (cleaning wells, etc.), brought an extraordinary improvement in the health indices of people over a wide stretch of Africa's desperately poor Sahel. Since the Centrobank scheme rightly meant that you could now get as much money for increasing the health and lifespan of a Sahel camel-driver (which was quite easy) as for increasing that of a Texan billionaire (which was rather hard), these three young 6I THE 2025 REPORT doctors became very rich men-and other sorts of performance contracts quickly came in vogue.

My mind is most influenced by My father' (Norman Macrae's) life work (much of which I am linking through http://www.teachforsdgs.com ) and since 2007 women empowered Bangladesh mainly sir fazle abed, less clinton-yunus-microcreditsummit-results. Mathematically I believe positive cash models scale; but we dont need models designed to compound one sided profit beyond all sustainable purpose. I have had 40 year view of this which started in 1980s when for mit I worked at a french headquartered company on a worldwide database of societal needs from global multinationals. I became main Asian contributor then Robert Maxwell took over our company ending my 1980s.

I have always valued an idea jim kim came up with- unite professionals in their first 15 years of graduation; i believe new university movement should be geared to that dynamic (oddly this is very much in line with adam smiths 1750s arguments with oxford written up in my father's 1986 survey on future of education which extended that sectors extinction-critical contribution to the 40 year future history book i co-authored with dad called 2025 report - beyond borders and to catalogue each system that is currently externalising the risk it knows most about.(That also applies to sectors eg the way union carbide did with bhopal). The human race the technology and eg 5 billion under 40s brains to do this but not while old hubris dominates national leaders discussions , and media etc. Why is for example that there has only ever been one decade-creation challenge - the moon race. Somehow the intergenrational trust between grandparent, parent and younger half of the world has been decimated by vicious self-centred transactional mass media - both broadcast and digital. This is the focus of integrating local- globalisation consultancy that I have worked/published on for 40 years now. However it does not fit inside any academic tracks.

It feels to me as if kissinger's c100 has lost it

I admire what the branch's of li ka shing's CKGSB university do - its us branch is in new york

I admire henry's CCG, schwarzman, aiib , asian development bank but many other asian institutes are complex where they interact with usa being caught up with hubris There remain individual standouts eg cheng li (still technically at brookings). I forget have you ever chatted with him to compare views. Who else - anyone continuing vogel's work? Marta Chen at Harvard is brilliant source of women empowerment but in her 80s.. Are there any asian tech entrepreneurs who get youth as sustainability generation? - i see some in hong kong but while that was due to be my last trip before covid struck the HK riots cancelled the main summit I had registered for Dec 2019

To the extent that I can link a NY ,map it will be at http://www.teachforxx.com - have you heard of new yorker wendy kopp?- she won qatar's first lady 10th global education laureate- she founded teach for america when she graduated from princeton. In the 30 years since she has built 60 national branches of teachers corps where graduates aiming to go into education spend 2 gap years. She has announced her 60 branches aim to unite a new skills education replacing endless examination. At the same time gordon brown networks (as special envoy across all un edu ) have announced out of new york a competition to rank us cities by skills education. Browns wife sarah has been trusted by refugee education networks for a long time- his deepe4st edutech network runs by the name education commissio0n Asia hubbed out of Korea, The Japanese having lost world stages at g20 and tokyo olympics are hoping to relay expos from uae now to oaska 2025, and on the two year plan hope comes from indonesia organsing g20 in 2022 and egypt organising cop27.

The Hidden Risk to America’s Future: When Teachers Stop Being Curious About AIImagine walking into the India AI Impact Summit last week in New Delhi.
Hundreds of young people, including children as young as eight, are not just watching AI demos — they are asking sharp questions, building prototypes, and dreaming aloud about using AI to solve real problems in their villages. The energy is electric. Curiosity is everywhere.Now picture a typical American classroom in 2026.
According to recent surveys, 71% of K-12 teachers had received no formal AI training as of late 2025. Many still see AI as “something for the tech kids” or “a cheating tool” rather than a profound new way of thinking and creating.This is not a small gap. It is a strategic risk to America’s future.Jensen Huang’s Three Wake-Up Calls for EducatorsAt the heart of this risk is a profound shift that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has been describing for the past year. He offers three simple but powerful insights that every teacher and parent should hear:

“Don’t spend too much time learning to code — soon you can just ask AI to do most of the coding.”
The skill that defined the last 30 years of tech education is rapidly becoming less central.
Debate : LLM modelers wont make most money- best at partenships for space, energy, humanoids, world models, einstein;s sciences will- thats if our species reach 22 hundred
What matters now is knowing how to direct intelligent systems — to ask the right questions, set the right goals, and evaluate the results.
“We are building both personal mentor agents and communal action advisory agents.”
AI is not just a tool for individuals. It is becoming a partner that can help entire communities act together — whether scaling sustainability projects, improving local healthcare, or solving shared challenges. This is exactly the kind of Layer 5 AI agency (real community action apps) that countries like India are already piloting through models such as the GIMS AI Clinic.
“The vast majority of people should worry less about the maths of an AI tool and more about whether everyone using it has the same transparent purpose.”
Yes, the world will still need ~100,000 top mathematicians as AI wizards and safety checkers. But for most citizens — and especially for students — what matters is shared purpose and ethical understanding. Teachers don’t need to become coders or mathematicians. They need to become confident guides who can help young people use AI with clarity, integrity, and human values.

These are not abstract ideas. They are practical realities that will shape every industry by the early 2030s. Workers who use AI tools effectively will be dramatically more productive and creative than those who do not. The gap will not be small — it will be generational.The Urgent Goal: Purpose Study FetchWe now have a clear national goal: build learning infrastructure whose single purpose is to prepare the American workforce for the 170 million new AI-created jobs projected by the World Economic Forum by 2030.Call it Purpose Study Fetch — a mindset that treats AI curiosity as core to every teacher’s professional identity. This means moving beyond fear or indifference to joyful, practical exploration. It means giving teachers simple ways to experiment with tools like document intelligence pipelines, science agents, and human-in-the-loop robotics — exactly the kinds of systems NVIDIA showcased in recent sessions.Why This Gap Matters So MuchWhen teachers themselves do not enjoy exploring AI, students absorb that hesitation. Curiosity is contagious — so is disinterest.
Countries like India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore are actively training their young people to build and govern the next generation of AI systems. Meanwhile, too many American classrooms are still treating AI as an optional extra.The greatest risk to America’s future will not be China, or regulation, or even the technology itself.
It will be a generation of students who watched AI change the world from the sidelines — because their teachers were never invited, or never felt excited enough, to step into the game.A Better Way ForwardThe good news is that the tools are becoming more accessible every month. Open models, document intelligence pipelines, and human-in-the-loop robotics are no longer just for elite universities — they are within reach of ordinary classrooms.We need teacher training programs that treat AI and robotics as core professional skills, not electives. We need to celebrate teachers who experiment with these tools the same way we celebrate great coaches or inspiring literature teachers.The children at the India AI Summit last week were not waiting for permission.
They were already imagining, building, and asking “how can I use this to make my community better?”American education must match that energy — or risk watching the future be written by those who did.

This version is engaging, flows naturally, and gives Jensen’s three quotes prominent, memorable placement without overwhelming the piece. It keeps the tone hopeful while making the urgency clear.Would you like me to:

Shorten it further (e.g., for LinkedIn or a blog)?
Add the 5-layer visual from earlier?
Strengthen any section (e.g., more on robotics or the 170 million jobs)?
Or adjust the title/tone?

Just say the word and I’ll revise it immediately. This is a strong, important article — let’s make it land well.

2008

Goal 1 - 2008

Goal 2 food (human energy) & 7 machine energy

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang are major, interconnected figures in the 2024–2025 artificial intelligence landscape, often collaborating to define the future of AI infrastructure and national competitiveness.

Key Interactions and Joint Initiatives (2024–2025):

Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP): Schmidt and Huang are guiding a new Task Force established by the SCSP and NVIDIA to secure America's technological future in AI, aiming to build a national response to rapid AI advancement.
"AI and The Dawn of Intelligence" (2024): The two appeared together to discuss "Intelligence Manufacturing" and the future of technology, with Schmidt leading the conversation on maintaining U.S. competitive edge.
Industry Events: Both have appeared at major conferences discussing the future of AI, including in Paris (ai-PULSE) and various global technology summits.

Shared Perspectives and Commentary:

The "AI Worker" Warning: Schmidt has echoed Huang’s famous sentiment that "you are not going to lose your job to AI, but you are going to lose your job to somebody who uses AI". Schmidt emphasized that professionals must embrace AI to remain relevant, noting that AI is an "accelerator for learning".
Sovereign AI: Both have stressed the necessity of nations building their own "sovereign AI" infrastructure to maintain independence, with Huang encouraging countries to build large language models for cultural independence.
Geopolitical Concerns: Schmidt has raised concerns that "free" Chinese AI models could overtake Western closed-source models in global adoption, a challenge they are both addressing through policy and technology.
Respect: Schmidt has praised Huang as "one of the greatest people in our times" regarding the AI race.

In 2025, Jensen Huang was recognized as the Financial Times 2025 Person of the Year for his influence on AI.
