The firms underscored the importance of open-source AI and decentralized infrastructure to ensure the United States’ long-term competitiveness, innovation, and security.

The Crypto Task Force and the companies discussed topics such as the crypto infrastructure’s role in AI development and preserving open innovation and U.S. leadership under current frameworks.
