A Thoughtful Perspective on AI—and Why It Matters

A Thoughtful Perspective on AI—and Why It Matters

April 08, 2026

We wanted to share something a little different this week.

Katherine Carroll recently published an article in The Hill exploring how artificial intelligence is evolving—not just as technology, but as infrastructure.

Katherine also happens to be Rich’s sister, which makes this one especially meaningful for us to share.

Her article highlights an important shift—AI isn’t just software or innovation anymore. It’s becoming a full ecosystem tied to data centers, energy, supply chains, and long-term economic development.

That shift matters.

As AI continues to evolve, it’s increasingly being viewed as critical infrastructure—something that influences not just markets, but national priorities and global competition.

Her piece looks beyond the headlines and focuses on what’s happening behind the scenes—the systems, energy, and scale required to support AI’s rapid growth.

We’re proud to see her work featured and wanted to pass it along.
