At NVIDIA’s GTC 2025 (March 18-21, San Jose, nvidianews.nvidia.com), Yann LeCun dropped a gem: LLaMA 3—Meta’s open-source LLM—emerged from a small Paris FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) team, outpacing Meta’s resource-heavy LLM bets. LeCun, speaking March 19 (X @MaceNewsMacro)

IT came out of nowhere,” beating GPT-4o in benchmarks (post:0, July 23, 2024). This lean, local win thrilled the younger crowd—renewable generation vibes—since LLaMA 3’s 405B model (July 2024, huggingface.co) is free for all, from Mumbai coders to Nairobi startups.

Good News: Indian youth grabbed it—Ambani praised Zuckerberg at Mumbai (October 24, 2024, gadgets360.com) for “democratizing AI.” Modi’s “import intelligence” mantra (2024, itvoice.in) synced, with LLaMA 3 fueling Hindi LLMs (gadgets360.com).

Spotlight: Tech CEOs and U.S. Policymakers Converge at ITI's The Intersect Summit

Key stakeholders discuss critical intersection of tech and policy

Latest Development:


The technology sector is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities at the intersection of artificial intelligence, energy infrastructure, and cybersecurity.


ITI’s Advocacy:


ITI recently hosted its premier annual event, "The Intersect: A Tech + Policy Summit,bringing together technology CEOs, policymakers, and industry visionaries to address pressing policy issues. The summit featured prominent speakers including U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Dave McCormick, Representatives Suzan DelBeneBrett GuthrieJay ObernolteJohn Joyce, M.D., and Gabe Amo, FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington, and Morgan Adamski, Executive Director of the U.S. Cyber Command.


Discussions centered on critical topics including:


Energy & AI Infrastructure


"The first thing we have to do [to meet AI energy demand] is not take available energy offline, we have to keep things online. Then we need permitting reform to produce energy quicker, and wind and solar is included in that." – Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chairman, House Energy & Commerce Committee


"Don't think of data centers as consumers of energy. Data centers can be grid stabilizers." – Aamir Paul, Schneider Electric President & CEO of North America Operations


National Security & Public-Private Collaboration


"We want to be able to sit side by side with the private sector and have an honest conversation about our hard problems and discuss innovative and different approaches to our capabilities." – Morgan Adamski, U.S. Cyber Command, Executive Director


Digital Trade


"Digital trade impacts all sectors of the economy. Participating, and helping set that gold standard is critically important." – Congresswoman Suzan DelBene


AI Innovation & Small Business


"For a small business, the opportunities AI brings are especially compelling. You can bring in some of these tools to diminish repetitive tasks, automate outreach and allow the owner to engage at the touchpoint where a human needs to come in." – Eric Loeb, Executive Vice President, Global Government Affairs, Salesforce


"With the advent of primarily cloud-based AI tools, it makes a level field for small business owners.... for a fraction of the cost, they can start using that new technology." – Manav Thiara, Senior Vice President, Technical Fellow, Data Digital Services and Engineering, Sage


“The real power of AI is where we think about the most complex things, the problems we couldn’t solve before, and consider with the technology ‘what could I do?’”  Barbara Humpton, CEO, Siemens USA


“[In 2025] We’re transitioning from, especially in cybersecurity, using AI to react, but rather using AI to be proactive." – Omar Santos, Distinguished Engineer, Cisco Systems


“AI is taking the tools we’ve been using for a long time, and is making them better, and faster.”  Kirsten Verderame, Vice President, Global Government Relations, NetApp


Cybersecurity in the AI Era


"AI is going to be a very potent tool used for cyber attacks, but it's equally powerful in recognizing and preventing them." – Congressman Jay Obernolte


"While these tools are becoming more accessible, you have this democratization of destruction that AI is enabling. At the same time it is enabling us to all have speed and scale in what we do. The stakes are higher now because the adversaries have it too." – Drew Bagley, Chief Privacy Officer, CrowdStrike


“Cybersecurity is not just a technical issue—it’s a business issue, it’s a national security issues, it’s a board room issue. Security can’t be an afterthought.” – Steve Vintz, Co-CEO and CFO, Tenable


U.S. Technology Leadership


"It's clear that U.S. technology leadership...can provide a real national security advantage for the U.S." – David Zapolsky, Chief Global Affairs & Legal Officer, Amazon


"We should make more investments in basic research, because we're at an all-time-low since the 1950s in investments in American research." – Senator Dave McCormick


"For 4D innovation, I think it's very important that the world continues to use and rely on American technology. The more we can have access to the global markets, the more ability we have to maintain the innovation cycle and attract the brightest people to work on technology for the United States." – Cristiano Amon, President & CEO, Qualcomm

Leveraging U.S. Trade Policy to Promote Tech Leadership

ITI Director advocates for strategic trade policy

Latest Development:


Trade is a pressing priority for the Administration. During its first two months, the second Trump Administration has published several memos directing the development of plans to address wide-ranging trade ambitions, such as the America First Trade Policy and Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs plans.


ITI's Advocacy:


As President Trump and his team finalize their overall trade policy approach, it’s imperative that technology is part of the conversation. In a new TechWonk blog, ITI Director of Trade Policy Kyle Johnson emphasized that the Administration has an opportunity to collaborate with industry and international partners to advance an effective and durable trade strategy that strengthens U.S. leadership.
