7/ My favorite parts of it aside from datacenter buildout? Unleashing American geothermal energy. There’s north of 30GW of untapped geothermal in the U.S. We should use this moment to accelerate that.

5/ Why this matters:
The global AI race is accelerating, with nations like China investing heavily in advanced tech.

It’s critical to ensure the next generation of AI models are trained in the U.S. to ensure economic security and national security.

4/ It underscores the importance of partnerships:
• Collaborating with private sector innovators
• Strengthening ties with allies and partners
• Empowering the U.S. workforce to lead in semiconductors, AI, and quantum

3/ A core priority is security—the EO mandates safeguards against misuse of AI, especially in national security applications. It also includes measures to secure AI infrastructure from potential adversarial threats.

2/ The Executive Order focuses on building and modernizing AI infrastructure to support U.S. innovation and competitiveness. It outlines key actions to:
• Enhance R&D in AI infrastructure
• Ensure secure and ethical use of AI
• Advance U.S. leadership in AI innovation

1/ 🚨 The administration just issued an Executive Order on Advancing U.S. Leadership in Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure—a significant step to strengthen the nation’s AI capabilities while ensuring safety, security, and prosperity. 🧵

Great reporting by @chwolfson from the ground on the U.S. Steel deal.

“If these guys are our allies, why are we making them our enemy?”

“It’s not a national security threat. “[Japan] is our strongest ally now. The 7th Fleet is stationed there. That’s 20,000 sailors.”
