OpenAI has outlined a proposal calling for the U.S. government to provide significant funding and resources to support the artificial intelligence industry.
The proposal includes suggestions for special economic zones with fewer regulations to encourage new AI projects, the use of small nuclear reactors to power data centers with the help of the U.S. Navy, and a “North American Compact” to allow U.S. allies to collaborate on bolstering the AI field.
This proposal comes as President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to repeal President Biden’s AI executive order, arguing it “hinders” innovation, but Trump has also emphasized the need for the U.S. to lead in advanced AI technology, suggesting potential common ground.
