Craig Barrett, former CEO and chairman of Intel, has continued to speak publicly about U.S. competitiveness, education reform, and the semiconductor industry. In a 2025 appearance at the Global Quantum Forum, Barrett discussed the trajectory of Moore’s Law and the development of the quantum computing ecosystem, noting that multiple qubit modalities have continued to progress over 25 years and that the trend of exponential growth in computing is “very convincing.” He also referenced the observation that human beings are “terrible at understanding the impact of exponential technologies.” Across numerous appearances from 2011 to 2021, Barrett has consistently argued that the U.S. K-12 education system is underperforming, citing international test scores and the percentage of students at grade level. He has said that the system lacks accountability and that “there is no silver bullet” to fix it, advocating for high expectations, well-trained teachers, and internationally benchmarked assessments. Barrett has also discussed the importance of STEM education for economic competitiveness, noting that companies like Intel hire the best talent globally and that a U.S. workforce that is not as well-trained as foreign workforces is a disadvantage. He has been involved with the BASIS charter school network in Arizona, which he said has produced four of the top 10 high schools in the country according to certain rankings.
