President Trump visited Pittsburgh on Tuesday to praise companies for investing more than $90 billion in data centers and other energy projects in Pennsylvania, aimed at accelerating the development of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s commitments are ensuring that the future is going to be designed, built and made right here in Pennsylvania and right here in Pittsburgh, and I have to say, right here in the United States of America,\u201d Mr. Trump said at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit<\/a> at Carnegie Mellon University.<\/p>\n

The event was organized by Senator David McCormick, Republican of Pennsylvania, who brought together Trump administration officials and executives from technology and fossil fuel companies, including Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Google, ExxonMobil and Westinghouse.<\/p>\n

At the event, the private equity firm Blackstone announced that it would invest $25 billion in new data centers and energy infrastructure, including natural gas power plants. Google said it would invest another $25 billion in data centers and announced a separate $3 billion plan to upgrade two of Pennsylvania\u2019s existing hydroelectric dams to produce more electricity. CoreWeave, an A.I. cloud company, said it would invest $6 billion in a large data center near Lancaster, Pa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trump administration officials have said that winning the artificial intelligence race with China is a top priority. Officials have also said they want to make it easier to approve new natural gas and nuclear power plants to supply the enormous quantities of electricity needed to supply data centers. On his first day in office, Mr. Trump declared a \u201cnational energy emergency,\u201d<\/a> saying the country did not have enough power to meet its growing needs for A.I. and ordering agencies to roll back environmental rules.<\/p>\n

Critics have said the Trump administration, by cutting research funding<\/a> and gutting scientific agencies, has made it easier for China to catch up to the United States in the A.I. race. On Monday, the chipmaker Nvidia also said that the administration had lifted restrictions on selling certain types of A.I. chips<\/a> to China.<\/p>\n
