Several major announcements have been made in the field of AI!
Bloomberg recently reported that US President Trump plans to sign an executive order at the White House next Monday to launch " Genesis." The plan aims to strengthen the United States' artificial intelligence. develop.
Other media outlets report that key White House officials are pressuring lawmakers on Capitol Hill to exclude a bill restricting the export of artificial intelligence chips from the annual defense policy bill. The report states that if the GAIN AI Act does not become the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act, Nvidia... They will become the biggest beneficiaries.
Trump's "New Plan" to Vigorously Develop AI
According to a Bloomberg report on the 19th local time, the U.S. Energy... An official revealed that US President Trump plans to unveil the " Genesis Plan" at the White House next Monday as part of an executive order to strengthen US efforts in artificial intelligence .
U.S. Energy Department Chief of Staff Carl Koh said Wednesday at the Energy Opportunities Conference in Knoxville, Tennessee, that this effort is intended to demonstrate that the Trump administration considers the upcoming artificial intelligence race as important as the Manhattan Project or the space race. "We consider Project Genesis equivalent," Koh said.
Carl Kohl stated that the executive order could require U.S. national laboratories to conduct more research on emerging AI technologies and may involve public-private partnerships. The report also quoted an unnamed White House official as saying that discussions regarding the potential executive order were purely speculative until officially announced.
The report mentions that the Trump administration is also preparing a separate executive order for the president to sign, which would allow the Justice Department to sue states over AI regulations it deems unconstitutional and threaten to cut funding to states with overly restrictive or burdensome AI laws.
This week, Trump held a series of meetings at the White House with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focusing on finalizing defense and economic agreements. As part of these deals, Trump indicated he would approve the sale of advanced artificial intelligence chips to Saudi Arabia, while Nvidia and Musk's xAI announced a partnership with Saudi-backed AI company Humain to develop data centers. The plan.
At a Saudi investment conference on Wednesday, Trump stated that he would work with partners to "build the world's largest, most powerful, and most innovative artificial intelligence ecosystem." Trump also called on Congress to pass federal AI regulatory standards, warning that the U.S. would be easily overtaken in the AI race if no action was taken. He advocated for a unified federal approval process to avoid the obstacles created by fragmented state regulations. Trump said, "We'll work hard so you can have a single approval process instead of going through 50 states." He added that piecing together state regulations would be "a disaster" because "one awakened state is enough to disrupt business."
In July, Trump unveiled a comprehensive blueprint for artificial intelligence policy aimed at making it easier for AI companies to thrive in the United States and for U.S. allies to access critical hardware and software. The blueprint encourages the Department of Energy and other agencies to partner with the private sector and national laboratories to invest in “automated cloud labs across a range of scientific fields, including engineering, materials science, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience.” It also directs the government to expand AI research and training in these labs.
Last month, Nvidia announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy to expand its research in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, including the development of seven new supercomputers containing the company's AI chips at federally operated research facilities.
The White House is pressuring Congress to veto restrictions on AI chips. Export Act
According to Axios on the 19th, four sources familiar with the matter revealed that key White House officials are pressuring lawmakers on Capitol Hill to block a new bill aimed at restricting AI chip exports from being included in the annual defense budget.
The report states that Nvidia will be a major winner if the GAIN AI Act does not become the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act. David Sachs, the White House's AI "czar," has been leading the effort to abandon the bill, and his efforts are now supported by the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, making the chances of the bill being included in the essential defense legislation extremely slim.
According to reports, sources revealed that White House officials have been calling key lawmakers, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, to tell them they oppose the bill.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that administration officials have taken substantive action, attempting to exert influence during the critical window for finalizing legislation by directly conveying their opposition to high-ranking members of Congress, such as Steve Scalise. This high-level intervention reflects reservations within the administration regarding further tightening of AI chip export policies at this juncture.
Foreign media reports indicate that the controversial GAIN AI Act aims to reshape the supply chain allocation logic for AI chips. A core provision of the act requires chip companies to prioritize fulfilling orders from U.S. customers before exporting products to "countries of concern." Furthermore, the act includes specific export license exemptions for "trusted" entities.
Although the amended version of the bill had previously been approved by Amazon and Microsoft While companies have responded positively, the bill poses a direct regulatory risk to hardware manufacturers heavily reliant on the global chip export market. Currently, with strong intervention from the White House, this attempt to solidify export priorities through legislation is facing the possibility of failure.
The report states that the White House's shift in stance is closely related to the continued lobbying efforts of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The report points out that if the GAIN AI Act ultimately fails, Nvidia will be the biggest beneficiary. Huang has consistently advocated for developing global markets and has successfully persuaded key administration officials.
Jensen Huang's core argument is that allowing American companies to serve these markets is ultimately beneficial to the United States. Although Huang previously sparked controversy by requesting Trump to sell AI chips to foreign countries, his broad arguments on maintaining market access have clearly resonated within the White House, demonstrating his influence on the administration's policy-making.
