Official account of the 22nd Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs @StateDept

Washington, D.C.
Today, 35 nations signed the Joint Statement on AI Opportunity, aligning behind a PRO-GROWTH, PRO-INNOVATION regulatory approach for the AI era. A commitment to trusted supply chains, to mobilizing the private sector, and the infrastructure that will power the next century. The future of AI will not be determined by who regulates first. It will be determined by who builds first and builds the most capacity. More energy. More compute. More chips. More talent. More builders. A future where we ACCELERATE INNOVATION AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT is welcomed. Together, we aspire to build an AI future that serves our peoples, strengthens our economies, and empowers entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rule of law.

Jevons Paradox 📈
Narrative violation: A new study of 21,559 firms in the U.S. finds that “companies that adopt AI tend to grow faster following adoption”. “Firms making the largest AI investments grow employment by roughly 10% following adoption, while low-intensity adopters see no statistically significant change.” “Entry-level headcount rises 12% for high-intensity adopters.” “Gains emerge gradually and are broad across roles, including engineering, sales, administration, and customer service.” “The results counter predictions that AI adoption will lead to broad job loss.” The study is based on observed AI spending from Ramp card and bill pay data linked to Revelio Labs workforce records.

Had a productive discussion with Director General Viola and our European Union partners at the Second Pax Silica Summit. Under @POTUS’s leadership, the United States and the European Union are aligned on what matters most: securing the supply chains, compute, and trusted technologies of the AI era. This is what collective economic security looks like.

The future belongs to those who build together. @UnderSecE Helberg met with delegations from Israel and the United Arab Emirates to advance a shared vision for technological leadership, economic growth, and innovation in the Middle East. Through Pax Silica, we are building the foundations of an AI-powered future rooted in trust, ambition, and opportunity.
Today, the United States, Israel, and the UAE held a first trilateral economic dialogue on the margins of the 2nd Pax Silica Summit. In President Trump’s first term, the Abraham Accords showed peace builds prosperity. In his second term, under Secretary Rubio leadership, Pax Silica is showing shared supply chains builds shared economic security. 🇺🇸 🇦🇪 🇮🇱

Washington, DC: On the IX USISPF Leadership Summit 2026, US Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg says, "...India is an incredibly important partner. It was an early signatory to the Paxilica Declaration. I had the privilege of traveling to India back in February for India's AI Impact Summit, where we not only marked India's accession to Paxilica, but also published a joint statement on AI opportunity with India, which actually ended up shaping the statement that we co-signed with 35 countries last week at our second Paxilica Summit. The way that I think of Paxilica is a coalition of capabilities, which means that each country brings to bear their unique attributes and capabilities to the table in different ways..."

Watch | Speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit, former US ambassador to India Eric Garcetti said, "The United States has not invited every country in the world to join Pax Silica. We are inviting only those countries and partners we trust. Over the past six months in India, I have closely observed the immense opportunities here. This potential is not confined to one sector; it exists across nearly every sector of the economy." @USAmbIndia | @MEAIndia | @USAndIndia | #USISPF | #IndiaUSRelations | #IndiaUSPartnership | #SergioGor | #USAmbassador | #StrategicPartnership | #Diplomacy | #ArtificialIntelligence | #Technology | #Defence | #Innovation | #EconomicCooperation | #India | #USA | #UNI

"Fundamentally it strikes at what it means to be sovereign. In my view, sovereignty comes from being a net contributor to the world innovation ecosystem; it's about innovation sovereignty and not about whether you control the stack entirely in-house. That is the premise of why we created Pax Silica in the US." - shared, @jacobhelberg, US @UnderSecE for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, speaking on digital sovereignty at #USISPFIXLeadershipSummit2026. #AmericaAt250
