Mark R. Kennedy

“The U.S. is at an inflection point,” Mark Kennedy, a former congressman and university president who is now director of the Wilson Center’s Wahba Institute for Strategic Competition, said in a November 25 speech at a Boston Global Forum AI World Society conference. “Depending on our response, we will either retain our edge in AI and other technologies that underwrites our economic leadership and our military superiority, or surrender it to an ascendant China at great risk to our future prosperity and national security.”

"For the record, the Herald appreciated Kennedy’s work – especially his efforts on UND’s strategic plan and to modernize buildings on campus – as well as his interest in building a better relationship with the media."
