A number of the executive orders and announcements coming from the White House since Donald Trump returned to office have painted an ambitious vision for America’s AI future—crushing competition with China, abolishing “woke” AI models that suppress conservative speech, jump-starting power-hungry AI data centers. But the details have been sparse.

When big infrastructure projects spring up, one crucial law — the National Environmental Policy Act — has for decades been a key way the government has required powerful industry interests to consider the environment and the public's voice.

Trump headlined an event hosted by the “All-In” podcast and the Hill & Valley Forum on Wednesday, and spoke about the plan and signed executive orders regarding “woke AI,” data centers, and AI exports. The orders will likely expand on the plan, its limits, and its goals.
