00:00:00
This was the first speech that President
00:00:01
Trump has given on AI since the AI boom
00:00:04
began. And he declared that the United
00:00:06
States was in an AI race. It's a global
00:00:08
competition. The language that he used
00:00:10
was reminiscent of how President John F.
00:00:13
Kennedy declared that America was in a
00:00:14
space race. And in a similar way,
00:00:16
President Trump declared that we had to
00:00:17
win the AI race. I think you can argue
00:00:19
that the AI race is more important than
00:00:20
the space race. It's going to reshape
00:00:22
the global economy. It's going to
00:00:23
determine who the superpowers are of the
00:00:25
21st century. And President Trump was
00:00:27
really clear that we had to win it. And
00:00:29
then he laid out what some of those key
00:00:30
pillars are. Number one was innovation.
00:00:32
We have to get the red tape out of the
00:00:33
way and let our geniuses cook. Number
00:00:35
two is infrastructure. He touted the
00:00:37
hundreds of billions of dollars of
00:00:38
investments in energy and power
00:00:40
generation and grid upgrades and data
00:00:42
centers that he's supporting. And then
00:00:44
he also supported AI exports. He said
00:00:46
that we have to make America's tech
00:00:48
stack the global standard. He said that
00:00:49
it's not only important that we win, he
00:00:52
said it's important how we win. And he
00:00:54
sort of mentioned three non-negotiables
00:00:56
here. Number one was that American
00:00:58
workers have to be at the center of the
00:01:00
prosperity that we create. Number two is
00:01:02
that the AI models that the government
00:01:04
procures and buys must be free of
00:01:07
ideological bias. So no woke AI. The
00:01:09
third thing is he he did say that we do
00:01:11
want to prevent our technologies from
00:01:12
being misused or stolen by malicious
00:01:14
actors. And look, it's it's a daunting
00:01:16
technology because it's so powerful. And
00:01:18
like any revolutionary technology like
00:01:20
that, it can be used for bad as well as
00:01:22
good. But the daunting nature of it is
00:01:24
all the more reason why we have to do it
00:01:26
in the United States. Why would the
00:01:28
United States has to be the pioneer? I
00:01:29
think this idea of an AI race that is
00:01:31
similar to the space race is going to be
00:01:33
the dominant frame on AI policy for
00:01:36
years to
