President Joe Biden signed an executive order on artificial intelligence aimed at rapidly developing the necessary infrastructure in the U. S. , such as large data centers and clean power facilities. This order directs federal agencies to speed up AI infrastructure development and makes federal sites available for AI data centers. It addresses the increasing electricity demands due to new AI technologies, which could consume up to 12% of U. S. electricity by 2028. The order requires developers to pay for the construction and connect these facilities to clean power sources to avoid increasing consumer electricity costs.
Departments like Defense and Energy will facilitate the development of AI data centers on federal sites, requiring public labor agreements and reserving some sites for smaller AI companies. A study on AI data centers' electricity price impacts will be conducted, and the Interior Department will identify lands for clean energy development. The order emphasizes building a network of data centers to support AI operations and safeguard national security by preventing reliance on foreign countries for AI technology. It follows proposed restrictions on AI chip exports to balance security and economic interests. However, it lacks measures to address the water consumption of AI data centers, a growing concern for states with limited water resources.
