First of all, with respect to AI competition, I think it's illustrative to talk about the economic impacts of artificial intelligence as a first order. Economic forecasts predict an AI economy of 16 trillion, a $16 trillion AI economy in the next 10 years. And this will -- this could amount to massive GDP increases, 26 percent, as high as 26 percent for China, as high as 15 percent for the United States, that to participate in this competitive AI marketplace. And if we do that, this core economic competitiveness of the United States then needs to be reflected in a core military competitiveness in this space as well.
