This week, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says AI’s productivity boost may be much larger than official economic data currently indicate. And, AI companies are largely in agreement that the technology needs guardrails, but the ethical implications of AI could also create new opportunities for liberal arts education. Plus, America is rebuilding a critical minerals supply chain after decades of Chinese dominance. Later, America’s shrinking college-age population is forcing universities to compete for fewer students.

This week, Council on Foreign Relations President Michael Froman breaks down China's export machine, why twenty years of US pressure hasn't worked, and what happens next. And, can a $100 billion Micron factory transform Syracuse from a Rust Belt cautionary tale into a potential model for American reindustrialization? Plus, a bridge named for a hockey legend was meant to strengthen the supply chain between the US and Canada, but the neighbors can’t agree on their trade relationship. Later, with 760,000 care aide openings expected every year in the US and a $400 billion long-term care bill, humanoid robots are an early bet on technology filling the care gap.

This week, a special edition of Wall Street Week from the fastest growing large economy in the world: India. The country's technology sector has helped power its growth, but its success has led to uneven progress that could turn its strengths into weaknesses. Bangalore became India’s tech capital by attracting global investment and growing a deep talent pool, but infrastructure and policies to support the expansion have struggled to keep up. Plus, can Hyderabad overtake Bangalore as India’s leading tech city? Later, Blackstone’s investment in Royal Challengers Bengaluru reflects just how much potential India’s sports and entertainment economy has.
