President Trump announced agreements with major tech companies during his State of the Union address, requiring them to cover the costs of powering their artificial intelligence initiatives. The deals involve companies building their own power plants to meet their electricity needs, with the aim of keeping costs low and ensuring US leadership in AI development.
President Donald Trump used the State of the Union address on Tuesday night to announce deals with major tech companies to ensure data centers cover more of the costs needed in powering artificial intelligence.
“We have an old grid. It could never handle the kind of numbers, the amount of electricity that’s needed. So I’m telling , they can build their own plant and produce their own electricity,” Trump said during his speech. Trump said that these tech companies “have the obligation to provide for their own power needs. … I’m telling them they can build their own plant. They’re going to produce their own electricity.” Reports ahead of the speechhas never caused our neighbors’ electricity bills to rise. When our team builds supercomputers, that includes power. And when our supercomputers go into orbit, there will be even more earth power for the earthlings.”Energy Secretary Chris Wright said that “brand-name” companies have agreed to the program. “We’ve had a lot of dialogues with data center developers to say, ‘You’ve got to have the American people on your side,’” Wright continued. Wright remarked, “The president’s very keen about the United States leading in AI, but it’s got to be a win for America — not just the Americans that use that AI.” One White House official said that the companies have committed to “pay their own way” to keep electricity costs low.“The President will proudly tout his Administration’s many record-breaking accomplishments, and also an ambitious agenda to continue bringing the American Dream back for working people,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.ESPN Radio Host Calls USA Men’s Hockey ‘Sad Little Pawns’ at Trump’s SOTUCuban Coast Guard Opens Fire on U.S.-Registered Speedboat, Four KilledDemocrat Rep.
