U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday launching a government-wide initiative to develop an integrated artificial intelligence platform designed to unlock and leverage federal scientific datasets. The effort aims to accelerate AI innovation by making vast amounts of government-held data accessible for training next-generation artificial intelligence technologies. The platform is intended to streamline data sharing across federal agencies, improve data standardization, and support the development of advanced AI systems in areas such as healthcare, climate science, and national security. Trump emphasized that the initiative would position the United States as a global leader in AI, fostering public-private collaboration and spurring economic growth. The order also directs federal agencies to prioritize the use of AI tools in their operations and to establish clear guidelines for responsible AI development. Officials said the platform will be built with strong privacy and security safeguards to protect sensitive information while enabling broad access for researchers, startups, and industry partners. The move comes amid growing competition between the U.S. and other nations to dominate the future of AI, with the administration framing the effort as a key step in securing American technological leadership.
