The Hill & Valley Forum, a one-day gathering of top tech leaders, entrepreneurs, and legislators, took place on the same day as the country's 250th anniversary. This year, artificial intelligence dominated the agenda, with concerns over how U.S. companies can maintain a competitive edge as geopolitics changes global markets. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expressed optimism about the long-term impact of the Iran conflict, but warned of a dangerous dependency on China. No representatives from Anthropic were present, particularly since the government is reportedly feuding with them.
