## Resource

In this episode of Memos to the President, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discusses the shift from retrieval-based computing to a generative paradigm driven by human intent. Huang argues that the U.S. must lead the "five-layer cake" of AI to trigger a massive re-industrialization that brings high-skilled manufacturing back to the West. He counters threats of job displacement, explaining that AI automates specific tasks while increasing the demand for the human purpose of innovation. The conversation also explores the rise of "Physical AI," predicting that reasoning-capable robotaxis and humanoid robots will become mainstream within the next three years.
