Summary

To ensure the United States remains at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) development, substantial investments in computing power and energy infrastructure are essential, as outlined in a report titled "Build AI in America." The report emphasizes the need for reliable and extensive energy capacity, predicting that by 2028, AI training in the U.S. will require up to 50GW of electric capacity to maintain global AI leadership. It highlights the disparity in energy infrastructure development between the U.S. and China, with China significantly outpacing the U.S. in adding power capacity. The report proposes comprehensive reforms, including accelerating permitting processes, leveraging federal lands for infrastructure, and strengthening supply chains and workforce development, to support both large-scale AI training and broad AI deployment nationwide. These efforts aim to overcome regulatory challenges and promote collaboration between the government, industry, and communities, thereby ensuring America's continued leadership in AI.
