Collectively, this report demonstrates how the Trump Administration advances America’s AI capabilities through a broad spectrum of strategic and impactful investments across the Federal agencies. We are proud of the breadth and depth of Federal AI investments to ensure increased prosperity, safety, security, and quality of life for the American people for decades to come,” said Michael Kratsios, Chief Technology Officer of the United States.
