“What struck me was how everyone seemed so optimistic and energized by the prospects for what can be built and tackling large problems together – be it the AI race or AI’s impact on the economy or making sure our war fighters have the best technology,” he wrote.

Commenting on his role in the White House, Krishnan said the past year had given him “a profound appreciation” for what he called the “American Experiment,” which he described as the ability to make progress when efforts extend beyond government.
“A big part of it is great things are possible when we can get everyone involved in making things better (and not just government),” he wrote.
At the event, Krishnan spoke to an audience of people working across sectors, including company founders, academic researchers, policymakers and financiers.
The Hill and Valley Forum, held in Washington on March 24, describes itself as a bipartisan gathering focused on U.S. leadership in emerging technologies, economic competitiveness and national security.
This year’s agenda included sessions on “Winning the AI Race,” supply chains, industrial capacity, biotechnology and defense-related technologies.
Among the speakers were Indian American investors Ravi Mhatre, partner and co-founder of Lightspeed, and Hemant Taneja, chief executive officer of General Catalyst.
Krishnan’s remarks come as the Trump administration and allied technology leaders increasingly frame artificial intelligence as central to U.S. economic strength, defence readiness and strategic competition, particularly with China.
Recent policy discussions in Washington have increasingly linked AI development not only to commercial innovation but also to manufacturing, supply chains, energy use and military capability.
Krishnan has in recent months also argued for wider adoption of what he has called the “American AI stack,” positioning U.S.-built infrastructure and systems as central to the next phase of global AI development.
He said attendees at the forum included those building companies, conducting research, shaping policy and financing innovation, and added that he left the gathering “energized” about addressing major issues together “for America.”
