“America is the country that started the AI race — and as President of the United States, I’m here today to declare that America is going to win it,” he said.
“Winning the AI race will demand a new spirit of patriotism and national loyalty in Silicon Valley and long beyond Silicon Valley,” he added, while calling for the US tech firms to act in the favour of the country and “putting America first”.
He said that for a long period of time, much of America’s tech industry pursued a radical globalism that left millions of Americans feeling distrustful and betrayed.
“We need US technology companies to be all in for America. We want you to put America first. You have to do that. That’s all we ask,” he stated.
The three orders that the US President signed are related to promoting the export of the American AI technology stack, accelerating federal permitting of data centre infrastructure, and preventing woke AI in the Federal government, as per the White House.
