Thanks for coming out, everybody.

We're going to have a great, full contact, super hardcore discussion about the future,

specifically around AI, which I think is the most important theme, not only of CES 2026, as we've seen with all the incredible gadgets,

chips being launched, self-driving, but it's going to be the most important transformation

of our lifetimes.

I think everything we've seen over the last 30 years of technology from the PC revolution

to cloud computing, to the the internet mobile, all of that

is going to be dwarfed in comparison to the impact that AI is going to have on society.

If you're here at CES, you know that, you're here for that reason.

And we've got two amazing guests who are going to join us to have this debate.

And additionally, I've brought

my box, a box filled with all the ghosts and gadgets of Christmas past. And we're going to go

through those at the end of our discussion. But here's a quick video of our guests will be joining

me today. From boardrooms to the White House and beyond, McKinsey's influence in business is virtually

unparalleled.

It's one of the largest and most influential consulting firms in the world.

Enterprise can move faster than any of us expected, which is good news because these problems

aren't going to be the problems of the next generation.

They're going to be the problems of our leadership generation. Making this system of government better on both efficiency

and effectiveness is key for economic growth and for national defense. We also think that some of

the private sector insights that we have brought to the public sector can drive innovation.

Our next guest leads venture capital firm, General Cattels.
