Beyond the fears of bubbles in the stock markets, the artificial intelligence it remains in itself at the top of governments' interests of the major economies: if on one side of the Pacific Ocean the Chinese Communist Party announces that AI itself will have to be a priority, on the other hand Trump responds with his signature “Genesis Mission”, an integrated artificial intelligence platform for support the sector in every area, but also trying to reassure consumersthe US on a possible increase in the energy bill due to the use of data centers.
Last night the US President signed a executive order to establish this new initiative with the idea of promote l'innovation using theartificial intelligence, with the aim of better coordinating research conducted by government agencies and more effectively integrating artificial intelligence tools to achieve greater scientific progress, he told reporters michael kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Trump has instructed the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Laboratories to “unite the brightest minds, the most powerful computers and America's vast scientific data into a single cooperative research system." The Department of Energy will create a closed-loop artificial intelligence testing platform. The mission will leverage the IT resources of the Department of Energy's national laboratories to draw on the federal dataset and enable more experiments using artificial intelligence, Kratsios added, predicting that this effort will contribute to shorten the time to scientific discovery in materials engineering, health sciences, and energy. To increase the laboratories' supercomputing resources, additional facilities will be created. partnerships with private sector companies, including Nvidia, Dell Technologies, Hpe and Advanced Micro Devices, according to some sources.
Artificial intelligence: but how much will it cost me?
The other side of the coin of the great expansion of artificial intelligence, which necessarily passes through the system of highly energy-intensive mega data centers, concerns the increase in pressure on the electricity grid American and consequently and of the cost of bills: which then, in other words, means fear of a rising inflation, a factor that worries the Fed for its interest rate policy, but also the same Trump which is approaching the mid-term elections and he doesn't want his voters they can blame him for something increased cost of living.
Il Secretary of Energy Chris Wright ran in support of the initiative saying that genesis will contribute to counteract rising energy costs and that one of its “ultimate goals” in the energy sector is “provide more energy, make our electricity grid more efficient and reverse the price increase which has infuriated American citizens.” “We will stop the increase in energy prices. First it will stabilize, and then it will push electricity prices down,” Wright said.
Across the Pacific: The Chinese Communist Party's Plans
In the same hours as Trump's announcement, as if it were coincidental, but who knows if it really is, the People's Daily, the official organ of the Chinese Communist Party puts on the front page that the authorities in Beijing are giving priority to technological self-sufficiency high level and at the development of new productive forces quality, as a key strategy for the 15th Five-Year Plan. The newspaper says it is essential enhance research fundamental and achieve advances in technologies Critical to building a resilient industrial and supply chain. The article notes that there has been a roughly 70% increase in funding for fundamental research since the end of 2020 and that China can now pursue global leadership in strategic sectors such as AI, deep-sea exploration, and aerospace by leveraging a "total" resource allocation system.
Trump's Assist: From Cryptocurrencies to Artificial Intelligence
After the assist of Trump from the beginning of his new mandate for the cryptocurrency, now the tycoon is openly launching his support for the technological sector and it does so with bombastic words: The Trump administration believes that the race to develop technology of artificial intelligence both how important la space race and Manhattan Project, dating back to World War II, to develop the atomic bomb, as the chief of staff of the Department of Energy said, Carl Coe. While Kratsios called it “the largest mobilization of federal scientific resources since the Apollo program“, the US mission aimed at sending humans to the Moon and returning them to Earth safe and sound.
So, through a series of executive orders, Trump has moved to ease regulatory burdens, making it easier building AI infrastructure and powering data centers by companies and acquiring essential hardware and software from allies. He also pushed for block regulation at the state level in the United States, advocating for the adoption of a federal standard. The President is also preparing, according to Bloomberg, an executive order that would allow the Justice Department to sue states over artificial intelligence regulations it deems unconstitutional.
