President Biden told Air Force graduates Thursday they must confront a rapidly changing world marked by adversaries in Moscow, competitors in Beijing and artificial intelligence that could one day 'overtake' human capabilities.
Mr. Biden said the American people are counting on the new servicemen and women to navigate these challenges on their behalf.
“No other nation in the world, the whole world, has the enabling capacity we do,” Mr. Biden said. “The American people’s support for Ukraine will not waver. We always stand up for democracy, always.” Mr. Biden addressed the graduates as the Senate in Washington scrambled to approve a House-passed bill to avert a default on U.S. debt.
“This is a day you worked hard to reach. Think back to that first day of basic,” Mr. Biden told the graduates. “You didn’t know what the hell lied ahead. Maybe you were wondering what the hell you’d gotten yourself into.” They also praised the large crowd of parents and siblings who watched from the stands as the pomp and circumstance unfolded on a gridiron field in the Air Force stadium. At one point, Mr. Biden instructed the graduates to stand up and give their families a round of applause.
