Donald Trump's Gift to AI Companies
Briefly

Trump's administration introduced an "AI Action Plan" aimed at establishing global AI leadership and facilitating rapid growth for companies like OpenAI and Nvidia. Prompted by an executive order, the plan incorporates insights from major tech firms and reflects a close relationship between the White House and the private sector. Key initiatives include the Stargate Project, focused on AI infrastructure investment. The plan underlines the necessity of supporting AI advancement, echoing Silicon Valley's creativity and influence in the tech sector.
The action plan is the direct result of an executive order, signed by Trump in the first week of his second term, that directed the federal government to produce a plan to enhance America's global AI dominance.
On his second day in office, Trump, along with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, announced the Stargate Project, a private venture that aims to build hundreds of billions of dollars worth of AI infrastructure in the United States.
The White House is clearly deferring to the private sector, which has close ties to the Trump administration, and solicited input from AI firms, civil-society groups, and everyday citizens.
AI companies such as OpenAI and Nvidia must be allowed to move as fast as they can, emphasizing the need for a rapid development approach to win global AI dominance.
