"We are leading the World in AI, BY FAR, because of a gentleman named DONALD J. TRUMP!" the president contended.
The Wall Street Journal report Trump was targeting indicated that China now has 3.75 terawatts of power-generation capacity, which the outlet said is more than double what the United States holds. The Journal called China's electrical generation capacity the country's "Ace to play" in the global artificial intelligence arms race, since the United States is still home to the most powerful artificial intelligence models and controls access to the most advanced computer chips.
In Trump's Truth Social post responding to the Journal's claims, the president said that the approvals for new artificial intelligence plants and their accompanying "Electric Generating Facilities" are being approved "quickly" and "carefully," indicating the process has generally been taking "a matter of weeks."
