The US is planning an intervention that will see it play a role in ensuring the country leads in technologies such as AI and 5G.
In an email to The Hill, an official wrote:
“Within the coming weeks, we could expect to see action designed to preserve American [research and development] leadership in artificial intelligence, 5G, and the first deliverables from the National Quantum Initiative Act.”
The ‘National Quantum Initiative Act’ is a law passed by the previous Congress that was intended to keep pace with China in vital new technologies.
During a State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Donald Trump discussed investing in what he called “industries of the future”.
The Wall Street Journal reported President Trump is expected to issue executive orders to redirect government resources into boosting AI and 5G development.
