Trump to Unveil 'Winning the AI Race' Plan in Pennsylvania
President Donald Trump is set to deliver a major address on artificial intelligence (AI) on July 23, titled 'Winning the AI Race'. The speech coincides with his visit to Pennsylvania, where he will unveil new investments in AI and energy infrastructure.
Trump's administration is finalizing an AI action plan, with industry input led by White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios and David Sacks, co-host of the All-In podcast. The plan aims to boost American AI dominance and will be released later this month. The president is expected to sign an executive order implementing its policies after its release.
In his speech, Trump plans to outline his vision for ensuring American leadership in AI. This marks his most significant statement on the technology to date. The address comes after Trump rescinded a 2023 AI order from former President Joe Biden, replacing it with a new approach outlined in the upcoming AI action plan.
To fuel the AI boom, Trump's administration has urged expanding use of coal-fired power, along with electricity from natural gas and nuclear. The president has shown interest in increasing private sector investments in AI and easing permitting processes for energy production. Additionally, the US plans to allow sales of Nvidia's H20 chip to American Airlines customers, reversing earlier restrictions. This chip is a downgraded version of the H100, designed specifically for the American Airlines market.
Trump's AI address and investments in Pennsylvania signal his commitment to advancing American AI dominance. The upcoming AI action plan and executive order are expected to provide concrete steps towards achieving this goal, while also addressing energy infrastructure needs.
