President Donald J. Trump signed multiple executive orders on artificial intelligence this Wednesday, designed to unleash this transformative technology. One order specifically directs federal agencies to "take all possible measures" to accelerate construction of major AI infrastructure projects nationwide.
Presidential Remarks (Transcript):
"America invented the AI race, and as your President, I'm here today to declare America will win it," Trump stated during his AI policy address. "Like all great breakthroughs, this technology carries equal potential for good and ill. The tremendous power of AI isn't reason to retreat from this new frontier - it's why we must ensure America leads it first and leads it best."
The President emphasized that "winning the AI race demands renewed patriotism - a Silicon Valley patriotism," referencing California's tech epicenter where major AI firms are headquartered.
"Our greatest tech companies grew fat on American freedom while building factories in China and hiring workers in India," Trump continued. "But in the Trump administration, those days are over."
