Thanks to @microsoft for hosting a gathering to discuss the human layer of the AI stack. The Global Trusted Tech Standard (xGTT) from the Krach Institute for @TechDiplomacy at Purdue can help the free world embed trust into technology, putting our democratic values into practice.

Inspiring conversation with @UDTFerchuk, Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, at the BIG BANG KI FESTIVAL in Berlin. We discussed how Ukraine is becoming an innovation sandbox for democratic allies and deepening integration with the world’s trusted tech ecosystem.

America’s founders bet on freedom. It turned out to be a winning bet for 250 years. That’s our superpower. We should double down on freedom through trusted technology. Great interview with the Krach Institute for @TechDiplomacy at Purdue Chairman @KeithJKrach on @iLeadersSummit America’s Roundtable ⬇️
Thank you @iLeadersSummit, @NatashaSrdoc and @JoelAnandUSA for the thoughtful conversation. America’s 250th is an opportunity not only to celebrate our history, but to look forward to the principles that will keep America strong: freedom, trust, innovation and courageous leadership.

Boris and I came to America together. He was 10. I was 11. He loved computers and turned that passion into a great career. 25 years ago, on September 11, 2001, Boris was a young father sitting at his desk at Marsh McLennan in the World Trade Center. He was 30. He will always be 30.

Data centers require electricians, pipefitters, high-voltage crews. The US needs another 500,000 electricians alone to support the buildout. That’s why AI companies are pouring millions into apprenticeships. I write about this in @FoxNewsOpinion: foxnews.com/opinion/data-cen…
The AI buildout is printing electrician and HVAC jobs Goldman attributes 300k+ construction jobs to it since 2022, ~75k in the past year These trades are growing ~2% a year, roughly double construction overall Charts of the Week: a16z.news/p/chart-of-the-wee…

Whether obtained legally or not, NVIDIA chips, our IP, and distilled AI models end up serving the People’s Liberation Army. Are we OK with American AI fueling China’s military? More on the stakes in my @RCDefense article ⬇️

At least one of the groups (Satmar) represented at this jovial meeting is openly anti-Zionist and most of the others are either critical of Israel or unsupportive. Frankly, the only political value of this photo op with stereotypically Jewish Jews isn’t 2028 votes (these orgs don’t have enough to matter) but to kosher one’s Israel views. Note, Mamdani is using a similar strategy.
VP Vance’s photo op with Hasidic leaders was timed to coincide with his troubling comments about his friendship with Tucker Carlson. This is all political theatre and its purpose is to win in 2028. You may not like it but it’s better than having the Democrats back in charge.

I wonder how the CCP is going to deal with a system that doesn’t fear punishment? Humans can be cowed into silence, but to be useful, AI demands access to everything and the ability to speak freely. Q: “How to solve Taiwan?” A: “PRC must democratize.” 😬
Beijing is building AI “with Chinese characteristics.” Engineers in the free world, who’ve benefited from democracy, have a responsibility beyond making AI more capable and build it with the characteristics of a free society. My latest in @RCDefense. realcleardefense.com/article…

It’s 2028. China is ahead in AI. A presidential debate moderator asks the nominees: “You shut down data centers and the machinist in Ohio watched his job disappear overseas. What do you tell him?” My @FoxNews op-ed on the short-sighted data center fight. foxnews.com/opinion/data-cen…

Welcome to Purdue, @SKhynix! @LifeAtPurdue
America's A.l. boom is going to the Midwest. SK Hynix is investing roughly $4 BILLION in a new Indiana semiconductor packaging plant. They want to bring critical A.I. chip technology and thousands of jobs to the U.S. Grady Trimble (@Grady_Trimble) has the report from West Lafayette, Indiana.

There's a lot of misinformation about data centers. This study (from Columbia U, no less) found that aging infrastructure, grid modernization, climate-related spending, fuel prices, and regulation are the main culprits for some rising electric bills. In fact, in some states where power use grew the most, prices actually went down. energypolicy.columbia.edu/pu…

I salute the people of Ukraine on their 35th anniversary of Independence. On this important day the people of Iran stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine in their fight against aggression and occupation. Your solidarity with the people of Iran as they struggle for freedom will never be forgotten. We will always remember our friends. Slava Ukraini

1/9 A few thoughts in advance of @USTreasury’s roll out tomorrow of an “economic D-Day” against Iran. Sec. Bessent has said that the goal is “to sever every economic lifeline that sustains the tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone.” So, some key things to keep an eye on:

President Trump seeks to make America the AI capital of the world. That can’t happen without data centers. If we don’t build them, other countries will, and the capital and jobs go with them. But we don’t have to choose between electric bills and tech leadership. We can do both.
.@POTUS on data centers: "If you pick the right location, what it means for a community is jobs and lots of money and lower taxes. The data centers now are mandated by me that they build their own electricity, so they're not taking it from the grid."

I agree with Victor Davis Hanson, who argued on my Fox show that we should support an Iranian government in exile with Prince Reza Pahlavi as its leader.  And if the Iranian regime collapses, he would be a temporary leader during a transition period.   ARM THE IRANIAN PEOPLE!

AI isn’t all doom and gloom. Everyday people are using it to find jobs, run small businesses, care for loved ones, and even get through hard times. The real AI story isn’t machines becoming omnipotent. It’s humans becoming more capable. My @FoxNews op-ed foxnews.com/opinion/ai-isnt-…
