"What I mean by [group sport] is you can't accomplish it without the energy that's required, without all of the hyperscalers coming together, without governments,"
"At our summit, it was really wild to see [BlackRock CEO] Larry Fink and [others] ... come together and actually agree that this new phase of compute is going to require 500,000 electricians in the country," she said. "Just think about these new jobs that are being created in cities, frankly, that have been losing jobs for so long."
"Nothing can stop that now, with this technology, and to even be a tiny part of that with a company that I admire as much as Meta is just truly a huge honor,"
Powell McCormick brings experience across Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Republican administrations and is newly positioned at Meta. She and Sen. Dave McCormick organized an AI-energy summit that united tech CEOs, major investors, labor leaders, and government officials to align compute, power, and workforce needs. Summit participants concluded that hyperscalers, energy providers, and governments must coordinate to build infrastructure and staff the next phase of AI growth, estimating roughly 500,000 electricians will be needed. The role at Meta reflects a belief in a fundamental transformation driven by AI and a call for careful, responsible human guidance.
