President Joe Biden signed an executive order focused on enhancing the artificial intelligence infrastructure in the United States. The order seeks to develop essential infrastructure for advanced AI operations, including large-scale data centers and renewable energy facilities, and mandates federal agencies to expedite construction on government sites. Federal sites will serve as locations for AI data centers and clean energy generation, with guidelines established for developers. The Defense and Energy departments will identify sites for private data center development, requiring developers to cover construction costs and ensure a clean energy supply. The plan includes public labor agreements for construction on federal sites, with some designated for smaller AI enterprises. Agencies will study the impact of AI data centers on electricity costs, and the Energy Department will help state utilities develop tariff structures. Projections indicate the need for up to five gigawatts of power for leading developers by 2028, highlighting the importance of establishing a domestic network of data centers for national security. This order aligns with federal restrictions on the export of AI chips.
