What is the overall vision for winning the AI race and why does it matter?
Five, four, three, two, one, zero, all engine running. We have a liftoff. It's one small step per man, one side per man.
The world's largest airliner, each wing is big enough to hold five tennis courts. This new technology made it possible to meet the user's crucial needs. Enter
the computer and a new age. What a computer is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we've ever come up with. And it's the equivalent of a bicycle for
our minds. Here I am playing a game of chess with a computer, which is analyzing board positions and and applying a certain kind of intelligence to figure out what its next move should be. That's the subject of our program today, artificial intelligence. The good future of AI is one of immense prosperity where there is an age of abundance. Everyone can have whatever they want. We're still in the very early innings of AI. I would say the rate of progress is exponential right now. Every time I think that we are overstating the impact of artificial intelligence, something comes along that tells me we aren't making enough of it on the show. You know, there's no sixty-minute clock on this thing. This is an infinite game.
Think about solving a problem that would take humans thousands of years to solve. Those who can harness and govern the things that are technologically superior will win and it will drive economic vibrancy and military supremacy.
Trump administration believes that AI will have countless revolutionary applications. We believe that America's destiny is to dominate every industry and be the first in every technology. And that includes being the world's number one superpower in artificial intelligence. It feels like every tech revolution of our lifetime
has been leading to this moment.
I'm going all in with your beak.
Alright, everybody. Welcome to winning the AI race. Uh this is our first event in DC. Can I can I get permission from our leader to sit down? Yes, you may sit. Thanks for coming out, everybody. And uh we put this event together in just a couple of weeks. Uh in order to have a really important discussion. Winning the AI race. This is something America has has to do and it's something we will do and we're gonna do it through the way we've won every other technological race, through grit, entrepreneurship, uh, and dogged competition. The difference with this administration is they're actually engaging with the technology industry. And um today we're bringing together many members uh or all members of the administration here to talk about it and none of this would have been possible.
uh without our bestie David Sachs deciding that he would take um some time and become our czar of crypto and AI. And I would like to just start with a huge round of applause for David Sachs. David, you've been here for Six months. I'm sorry, but did you actually prepare? This is excellent so far. No, I'm just speaking for the No, it's excellent. Keep going. Keep going. He wants to be invited back to D C They told me I've got twelve hours left on the ground.
I think that White House tour is gonna happen after all.
Might just happen. Might just happen. It was in the air. But in all seriousness, um you've been here for six months, and we all know how capable you are. Uh but my lord, uh this administration is on a heater when it comes to crypto and AI. I am absolutely and I think I speak for everybody in our industry, thankful and wildly impressed, but not surprised, at the pace at which you've led crypto and AI. What's What's the first six months been like for you?
It's really been incredible. I mean, I never expected to go into government at all and uh really as a result of President Trump coming on our podcast uh a year or so ago That began uh a relationship that you know, eventually led to uh me being offered this this job. And I took it because I just thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to work for a president who really wants to get things done for the American people. And you can see that he d that just every day he works so hard uh to to push forward his agenda for the American people.
