PITTSBURGH — It was the site of America’s first industrial revolution. Now it’s prepared to usher in a second one, when the country’s leaders in innovation, technology, energy and artificial intelligence meet at Carnegie Mellon University on Tuesday for the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit.
President Donald Trump, in an interview with me ahead of the summit, said the event is going to “open the eyes of a lot of people of what is about to be unleashed in Pennsylvania.”
Senator David McCormick, the Pittsburgh Republican who assembled the July 15 event, said the energy and AI summit will feature Trump, several cabinet members, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, big Tech leaders from OpenAI and Meta as well as energy leaders from all over the country, including the natural gas powerhouse EQT’s Toby Rice.
