• Trust is the central strategic problem for AI.
• Reliance on AI requires resilience, analog backups, and a human-in-the-loop approach.
• AI is highly context-dependent, and deployment should be for specific use cases to avoid introducing systemic risk.
• AI has real physical vulnerabilities in the form of data centers, power availability, hardware manufacturing, and facility security that make AI resilience as much an infrastructure probleman as a software or cybersecurity issue.
• Energy supply is a strategic bottleneck in the global AI competition. 
• Sovereign AI and domestic production capacity are essential to suppot national security missions.
