The Trump administration's General Services Administration partners with Elon Musk's xAI to provide Grok AI models to federal agencies for $0.42 per organization.

NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang commends President Donald Trump's A.I. agenda and outlines what the countrys job future will look like on Special Report. FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is announcing the launch of a new tool it says will be instrumental in enabling agencies across the federal government to efficiently implement artificial intelligence at scale and take a major step forward rolling out the president's "AI Action Plan." Trump's U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) said on Thursday it has launched USAi, a tool the agency describes as a "secure generative artificial intelligence evaluation suite that enables federal agencies to experiment with and adopt artificial intelligence at scale--faster, safer, and at no cost to them." The agency says that the platform, available starting Thursday at 10 a.m. through USAi.ov, gives government users access to "powerful" tools like chat-based AI, code generation and document summarization with the goal of "supercharging employee productivity." "USAi isn't just another tool, it's infrastructure for America's AI future," GSA Chief Information Officer David Shive explained.

WEHEAD connects to ChatGPT and displays a face, expressions and voice. China is reportedly working to cognitively merge humans with machines as part of its ongoing efforts to compete in the artificial intelligence race. The communist country is using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology -- systems that allow for communication between the brain and an external device -- to "augment human cognition and human-machine teaming," The Washington Times reported, citing a presentation from Georgetown experts delivered to U.S. officials. These include invasive, minimally-invasive and non-invasive BCIs, according to The Washington Times. Invasive BCIs involve surgery to implant electrodes into the brain, while non-invasive BCIs use sensors on the scalp to monitor brain activity. Meanwhile, minimally-invasive BCIs involve implanting devices, but they do not penetrate brain tissue, according to a report in the National Library of Medicine.

Chevron chairman and CEO Mike Wirth joins'Sunday Morning Futures' to discuss economic concerns, the implications for if the company halts oil drilling in Venezuela and President Trump's sanction threat for Iran's oil recipients. America has triumphed in each industrial revolution – whether steel, energy or manufacturing – and has the power to lead the AI revolution, too. This week in Pittsburgh, President Donald Trump is bringing together leaders to address a defining challenge of our time: how to fuel the AI revolution with American energy. Progress on this front will be consequential for our economy, our national security, and America's global leadership. President Trump's announced 500 billion private sector AI investment is a critical enabler for our country.

Yurts founder and CEO Ben Van Roo breaks down concerns over DeepSeek on The Will Cain Show. Conservatives on social media and in the public square are increasingly speaking out about a bill being mulled in the Texas legislature they say threatens President Donald Trump's goal of ushering in a "golden age" of American energy and AI dominance. Some conservatives are rebelling over a proposal in the Texas Senate that will give the state broad authority to control new data centers in the state. SB6, or "the data center bill," caused an online ruckus recently, with conservative opposition to the bill gaining momentum, arguing that the bill, should it pass, will impose a major roadblock to the Trump administration's "Golden Age" of American energy production. Texas, long believed to be an ideal location for the AI fueling data centers, is a major location for President Trump's multibillion-dollar Stargate plan and is considered a finalist for numerous other multibillion-dollar projects and investments over the next decade.

Meta on Tuesday announced the release of Llama 3.1, the latest version of its large language model that the company claims now rivals competitors from OpenAI and Anthropic. The new model comes just three months after Meta launched Llama 3 by integrating it into Meta AI, a chatbot that now lives in Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp and also powers the company's smart glasses. In the interim, OpenAI and Anthropic already released new versions of their own AI models, a sign that Silicon Valley's AI arms race isn't slowing down any time soon. In a blog post, Meta said that the new model, called Llama 3.1 405B, is the first openly available model that can compete available rivals in general knowledge, math skills and translating across multiple languages. The model was trained on more than 16,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, currently the fastest available chips that cost roughly 25,000 each, and can beat rivals on over 150 benchmarks, Meta claimed.

President Biden on Thursday said calling Chinese President Xi Jinping a "dictator" has not undermined relations between the two countries. For more than eight decades, the United States has stood alone as the wealthiest, most innovative, and most economically prosperous nation in the world. Our preeminence has ushered in an era of unprecedented abundance and unparalleled opportunities for the American people and billions across the globe. Technology and innovation are driving forces behind our economic success. Every day, American entrepreneurs and tech companies are creating new products and services that create jobs, foster economic growth, and improve the way each of us work, live, and connect.

We're now seeing the Democrats say the quiet part out loud when it comes to artificial intelligence: they want to control AI development for political purposes. These efforts are not just going to further divide the country, but they will kneecap America's next decade of innovation. This assault on innovation is occurring at both the executive and legislative levels, where Democrats are using the novelty of AI to seize control over speech. Earlier this year, President Biden signed an executive order for agencies to "root out bias" by requiring diversity, equity and inclusion training for AI – ensuring any results are woke approved. This month, Vice President Kamala Harris is also getting in on the AI action by meeting with developers to ensure "equity" in AI.

AI-enabled cameras capture schoolchildren in China's Xinjiang region. Cameras identify and track ... [ ] Uighurs and other ethnic minorities face in the heavily-policed region. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technologies of the future – and not just because of civilian applications like ecommerce, self-driving cars, and online search and personal assistants. AI will transform militaries through innovations in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, logistics, command and control capabilities, weapons systems, and so on. Last year a landmark U.S. National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) report found, "The ability of a machine to perceive, evaluate, and act more quickly and accurately than a human represents a competitive advantage in any field--civilian or military."

Once upon a time, Japan was widely expected to eclipse the United States as the technological leader of the world. In 1988, the New York Times reporter David Sanger described a group of U.S. computer science experts, meeting to discuss Japan's technological progress. When the group assessed the new generation of computers coming out of Japan, Sanger wrote, "any illusions that America had maintained its wide lead evaporated." Replace "computers" with "artificial intelligence," and "Japan" with "China," and the article could have been written today. In AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, which unsurprisingly became an instant bestseller, former Google China President Kai-Fu Lee argues that China's unparalleled trove of data, culture of copying, and strong government commitment to artificial intelligence give it a major leg up against the United States.
