Trump Administration Unveils Order To Prioritize and Promote AI (reuters.com)
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday will sign an executive order asking federal government agencies to dedicate more resources and investment into research, promotion and training on artificial intelligence (AI), Reuters reports, citing a senior administration official said. From the report: Under the American AI Initiative, the administration will direct agencies to prioritize AI investments in research and development, increase access to federal data and models for that research and prepare workers to adapt to the era of AI. There was no specific funding announced for the initiative, the administration official said on a conference call, adding that it called for better reporting and tracking of spending on AI-related research and development. The initiative aims to make sure the United States keeps its research and development advantage in AI and related areas, such as advanced manufacturing and quantum computing. Trump, in his State of the Union speech last week, said he was willing to work with lawmakers to deliver new and important infrastructure investment, including investments in the cutting-edge industries of the future, calling it a "necessity."
The Trump Administration is desperately seeking artificial intelligence due to the total absence of any natural intelligence.

Great, let's jump on the buzzword bandwagon.
I though that DT was above all that: he made his own buzzwords, instead of repeating somebody else's.
- "Hey guys, I think we need to invest in AI research. From machine learning to powerful neural networks that can replicate portions of the human conscience!" says Slashdot and industry pundits alike.
- "Good, we'll make HEWWWGE AI, Powerful AI. Thinking machines. You know they have those now ? Machines that think! It's crazy. We'll build more, they'll be better, the GREATEST artificial brains!" says President Honorary Doctor Donald J. Trump.
- "NO ! AI is awful! ORANGE MAN BAD!" replies Slashdot and industry pundits suddenly, suffering a bout of rapid onset TDS.
"Not to mention all the idiots who use words like boxen."

I'd settle for some sign of HI (Human Intelligence) from this administration.
All that is necessary for the triumph of good is that evil men do nothing.
Last election:
Beto O'Rourke

My local mayor, majority of city council
Nancy Pelosi
2016:
Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote, was prepared for the presidency and was not a Russian owned traitor.
Next Election:
Hopefully Beto
Cory Booker
All candidates who see the GOP Tax cut for the wealthy / tax increase for the middle class for what it is.
