When Biden's AI Order was established, half a dozen US politicians applauded the measure alongside industry executives like Microsoft President Brad Smith, who called it a "critical step forward in the governance of AI technology" (In October, Microsoft founder Bill Gates quietly supported Kamala Harris for president with a $50 million donation).

The government already leases federal lands for energy production, including fossil fuel exploration and renewable energy projects. Under the executive order, by February 28th, the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Energy are supposed to find at least three sites each to host new AI data centers on land that their departments manage.

The order will direct the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy to lease federal sites where the private sector can build AI infrastructure, he said.

Trump sidelines law put in place by outgoing government seeking to set standards for AI safety and security and protect Americans' privacy.

President Trump hosted executives from Softbank, OpenAI and Oracle at the White House Tuesday to announce “Stargate,” a $500BN private-sector plan to build new AI data centers.
