US President Donald Trump has pledged to support states seeking to expand artificial intelligence (AI), arguing that the rapidly developing technology could bring significant economic benefits and create new opportunities across the country.
They are GOLD, and only foolish leadership will say ‘NO’ to the riches they bring! Trump wrote. The President’s comments signal his support for states seeking to position themselves as major destinations for AI companies, investment and infrastructure development.
“As President, I am 100% in favor of Super Intelligence (SI), and will work with the many States in the U.S. that want to become RICH by having them.
In a social media post on Friday, November 6, Trump expressed strong support for what he described as “Super Intelligence (SI)” and stated that his administration would work with states looking to attract AI-related investment and development.
Trump’s comments come at a time when artificial intelligence policy is emerging as a major political issue in Washington. Democrats are preparing to introduce a series of legislative proposals targeting AI companies and the rapid expansion of data centres when they take control of Congress in January. Democrats have also called for greater scrutiny of major technology companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google and SpaceX. Some lawmakers want stronger government oversight to ensure that technological progress does not come at the expense of public safety and consumer interests. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has established a new task force to tackle criminal activities involving advanced artificial intelligence and super intelligence (SI), bringing federal prosecutors and investigators into the government’s efforts to address emerging technological threats.
The proposed measures could include safeguards against rising electricity costs linked to data-centre operations, independent safety assessments of advanced AI systems and clearer rules establishing when technology companies can be held responsible for harm caused by their products, according to a Reuters report.
