We can uh plan calls for categorical exclusions for AI-related activities, which can allow data centers and other power generation to happen on federal lands.
And that's gonna be coupled with all sorts of other efforts to really accelerate the velocity that we can build power and ultimately run these data centers.
So let's talk about before we run out of
In the action plan, I think what we bring to light, and I don't think it's talked about enough, is to power and successfully drive continued American leadership in this domain, it is not simply about having the greatest A engineers, but it's also having all the other parts of the workforce which needs to drive this forward.
You know, we talked to some companies like Caruso and others who are building these large infrastructure builds around the US.
The challenge that they're facing is an electrician.
and HVAC talent.
Right.
And the and the AI plan itself spends a lot of time and energy directing um various agencies, whether it's Department of Labor and others who have these reskilling and and programs to sort of train these people up to be able to fill that void.
So for us it's about attracting here to the US the greatest scientists and engineers, but it's also to be able to train the American workforce to be able to do the necessary jobs to put that forward.
Generally, the government has taken an open source approach to this.
And the general challenge that we've seen over the years is there's been a lot of lip service to hey, let's unlock data for the American people.
And the main challenge is, and for all of us who are in AI, the format of that data itself actually matters a lot.
If it's like dirty, nasty data that isn't homogenized in any way, it's not particularly helpful.
And I think that's going to be a big effort that the DOE is.
gonna Department of Energy is gonna try to do to make this better and possible.
And what was great in the uh recent legislation that was passed in BBB was an actually a hundred and fifty million dollar ticket to the Department of Energy to build an AI for science program that very much is going to be working on this exact problem.
I think generally preemption is an issue that comes up very often broadly in technology.
You have this issue with uh privacy for many years.
What we're trying to face today when we talk about in the plan itself are actions that the executive branch can take itself.
