Markets trade on more than just economic data. They trade on geopolitics, technology, policy, and elections. In a world searching for a new equilibrium, old assumptions are expensive mistakes. Daleep Singh, Vice Chair and Chief Global Economist at PGIM, has spent his career at the intersection of markets and policy, from the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve to the White House. Now, Daleep is sharing his perspectives with you. On PGIM's The Outthinking Investor, Daleep sits down with prominent economists, technologists, policymakers, and market veterans to map out the full distribution of what comes next—and why it matters.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T02:20:37.666260+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-outthinking-investor-with-daleep-singh-4270349"},"episode":{"title":"The New Arms Race: Supply Chains, Data, and National Security","slug":"the-new-arms-race-supply-chains-data-and-national-security","published_at":"2025-02-12T12:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-outthinking-investor-with-daleep-singh-4270349/the-new-arms-race-supply-chains-data-and-national-security","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-outthinking-investor-with-daleep-singh-4270349","url":"https://blm5757040378.libsyn.com/the-new-arms-race-supply-chains-data-and-national-security","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/blm5757040378/PGIM_S5E2_DATA_CENTERS_rev6.mp3?dest-id=3239798","summary":"The world's superpowers are engaging in a different type of arms race beyond the battlefield. With technology advancing at a speedy pace, a global competition for all the ingredients necessary to support artificial intelligence—from data centers and semiconductors to the AI models themselves—is heating up. Not only do these ingredients form the building blocks of today's economy, but building a secure and reliable flow of data is also considered a key national security objective. The UK designated data centers as critical national infrastructure in 2024, underlining how governments are now prioritizing energy supply, cybersecurity, and efforts to guard the digital world from adversaries. This race for technological supremacy, coupled with growing private-sector demand related to AI and cloud computing, is propelling new investment opportunities. This episode of The Outthinking Investor covers the opportunities, challenges, and security considerations at play amid rapid innovation in AI and a global battle for technological supremacy. Topics include the intersection of AI, chips and national security; governments' pursuit of secure and reliable supply chains; and real estate opportunities created by rapid growth in hyperscale data centers. Our guests are Chris Miller, a professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and author of the book \"Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology\"; William Reinsch , senior adviser with the Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; and Morgan Laughlin, Global Head of Data Center Investments at PGIM Real Estate.
