Advancing AI Infrastructure in the U.S.

The Biden administration recently released an executive order aimed at enhancing U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence infrastructure. This order follows another initiative intended to incentivize companies to develop their data centers within the country, addressing challenges posed by energy demands. The growth in AI technology necessitates an enormous amount of electricity, with projections indicating that future data centers could require power levels comparable to that generated by multiple Hoover Dams. Consequently, the executive order is seen as a strategic move to address bottlenecks in energy supply and infrastructure that are currently hindering the rapid expansion of AI capabilities.
