Conservative Gen Z influencer Bo Loudon and National Review staff writer Caroline Downey weigh in on the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad and President Donald Trump's support of her on'The Ingraham Angle.' President Donald Trump notched his 200th day back in office Thursday, with the administration celebrating a lengthy list of wins across its latest chapter of actions and policies unfolding at a breakneck pace. "In just 200 days, President Trump has turned America into the hottest country in the world," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital. "Under Joe Biden's failed leadership, families and businesses were struggling, and America was dead -- but President Trump has quickly restored American greatness. The historic trade deals and peace deals he secured on behalf of the American people made President Trump's second 100 days just as successful as the first." Trump hit his 100th day of his second administration in April, which included operating at warp speed as Trump signed dozens of executive orders, leveled harsh tariffs on foreign nations to bring parity to the U.S.' trade deficit, negotiated with foreign nations to work to end wars, unveiled the Department of Government Effeciency to investigate the federal government for potential mismanagement and fraud, locked down the U.S. border with Mexico and continued an overhaul of the federal government so it falls in line with the admin's "America First" policies.

NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang commends President Donald Trump's A.I. agenda and outlines what the country's job future will look like on'Special Report.' FIRST ON FOX: The federal government is stepping into the future and embracing artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, across its agencies, which proponents say will streamline productivity while solidifying President Donald Trump's pledge to keep the U.S. in the driver's seat of the cutting-edge technology, Fox News Digital exclusively learned. The U.S. General Services Administration announced Wednesday that OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise is now available to all federal agencies to incorporate into their workflow at a 1 per agency cost, the GSA told Fox Digital. The deal with OpenAI, the tech company behind ChatGPT, is part of GSA's OneGov Strategy that aims to modernize "how the federal government purchases goods and services" under the Trump administration. "The use of this tool has been deployed and tested with responsible policy makers, with responsible legal folks," GSA Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum told Fox News Digital of integrating AI into the federal government.

Three days after the Trump administration published its much-anticipated AI action plan, the Chinese government put out its own AI policy blueprint. Was the timing a coincidence? China's "Global AI Governance Action Plan" was released on July 26, the first day of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), the largest annual AI event in China. Geoffrey Hinton and Eric Schmidt were among the many Western tech industry figures who attended the festivities in Shanghai. Our WIRED colleague Will Knight was also on the scene.

How gamification took over the world It's a thought that occurs to every video-game player at some point: What if the weird, hyper-focused state I enter when playing in virtual worlds could somehow be applied to the real one? Often pondered during especially challenging or tedious tasks in meatspace (writing essays, say, or doing your taxes), it's an eminently reasonable question to ask. Life, after all, is hard. And while video games are too, there's something almost magical about the way they can promote sustained bouts of superhuman concentration and resolve. For some, this phenomenon leads to an interest in flow states and immersion.

But if you dig deeper, certain parts of the plan that didn't pop up in any headlines reveal more about where the administration's AI plans are headed. Here are three of the most important issues to watch. When Americans get scammed, they're supposed to be helped by the Federal Trade Commission. As I wrote last week, the FTC under President Biden increasingly targeted AI companies that overhyped the accuracy of their systems, as well as deployments of AI it found to have harmed consumers. The Trump plan vows to take a fresh look at all the FTC actions under the previous administration as part of an effort to get rid of "onerous" regulation that it claims is hampering AI's development.

This week has demonstrated that the tech "broligarch" who's most influenced President Donald Trump's second administration isn't Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, or Marc Andreessen--it's Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the 80-year-old software tycoon who recently became the second-richest man in the world. Just look at everything that's gone his way. On Thursday evening, the Federal Communications Commission finally voted to approve Paramount's 8.4 billion merger with fellow entertainment firm Skydance Media. The controversial, long-awaited deal only came about thanks to Paramount's appeals to this administration: settling a baseless lawsuit that Trump brought against 60 Minutes for "deceptively" editing its Kamala Harris interview, pressuring subsidiary CBS News to shift its "balance" in a right-wing direction, and canceling presidential foe and beloved comedian Stephen Colbert's highly rated late-night talk show.

Donald Trump's AI summit in Washington this week was a fanfare-filled event catered to the tech elite. The president took the stage on Wednesday evening, as the song God Bless the USA piped over the loudspeakers, and then he decreed: "America must once again be a country where innovators are rewarded with a green light, not strangled with red tape, so they can't move, so they can't breathe." The message was clear – the tech regulatory environment that was once the focus of federal lawmakers is no longer. "I've been watching for many years," Trump continued. I've been a victim of regulation."

This flurry of actions made for glitzy press moments, including an hour-long speech from the president and onstage signings. But while the tech industry cheered these announcements (which will swell their coffers), they obscured the fact that the administration is currently decimating the very policies that enabled America to become the world leader in AI in the first place. To maintain America's leadership in AI, you have to understand what produced it. Here are four specific long-standing public policies that helped the US achieve this leadership--advantages that the administration is undermining. Generative AI products released recently by American companies, like ChatGPT, were developed with industry-funded research and development.

Earlier today, Donald Trump unveiled his administration's "AI Action Plan"--a document that details, in 23 pages, the president's "vision of global AI dominance" and offers a road map for America to achieve it. AI companies such as OpenAI and Nvidia must be allowed to move as fast as they can. As the White House officials Michael Kratsios, David Sacks, and Marco Rubio wrote in the plan's introduction, "Simply put, we need to'Build, Baby, Build!'" The action plan is the direct result of an executive order, signed by Trump in the first week of his second term, that directed the federal government to produce a plan to "enhance America's global AI dominance." For months, the Trump administration solicited input from AI firms, civil-society groups, and everyday citizens.

"You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for," Trump said. "We appreciate that, but just can't do it-- because it's not doable." The president also doubled down on his anti-woke rhetoric in his speech. "We are getting rid of woke," he said on Wednesday. "The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models." The remarks came during a keynote speech at a summit hosted by the All-In Podcast and the Hill & Valley Forum.
