8
The kind introduction and I want to start by thanking President Macron for hosting the event
9
and of course for the lovely dinner last night.
10
During the dinner President Macron looked at me and asked
11
if I would like to speak and I said Mr. President I'm here for for the good company and free wine, but I have to earn my keep today.
12
And I of course want to thank Prime Minister Modi for being here and for co -hosting the summit, for all of you for participating.
13
And I'm not here this morning to talk about AI safety.
14
which was the title of the conference a couple of years ago, I'm here to talk about AI opportunity.
15
When conferences like this convene to discuss a cutting edge technology, oftentimes I think our response is to be too self -conscious, too risk averse.
16
But never have I encountered a breakthrough in tech that so clearly caused us to do precisely the opposite.
17
Now our administration, the Trump administration, believes that AI will have countless revolutionary applications in economic innovation,
18
job creation, national security, healthcare, free expression, and beyond.
19
And to restrict its development now will not only unfairly benefit incumbents in the space,
20
it would mean paralyzing one of the most promising technologies we have seen in generations.
21
Now, with that in mind, I'd like to make four main points today.
22
Number one.
23
This administration will ensure that American AI technology continues to be the gold standard worldwide,
24
and we are the partner of choice for others foreign countries, and certainly businesses as they expand their own use of AI.
25
Number two.
26
We believe that excessive regulation of the AI sector could kill a transformative industry just as it's taking off.
27
And we'll make every effort to encourage pro -growth AI policies And I like to see that deregulatory flavor
28
making its way into a lot of the conversations this this conference.
29
Number three.
30
We feel very strongly that AI must remain free from ideological bias
31
and that American AI will not be co -opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship.
32
And finally, number four, The Trump administration will maintain a pro -worker growth path for AI,
33
so it can be a potent tool for job creation in the United States.
34
Prime Minister Modi's point, AI, I really believe, will facilitate and make people more productive.
35
It is not going to replace human beings.
36
It will never replace human beings.
37
And I think too many of the leaders in the AI industry, when they talk about this fear of replacing workers, I think they really miss the point.
38
AI, we believe, is going to make us more productive, more prosperous, and more free.
39
The United States of America is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep it that way.
40
The US possesses all components across the full AI stack,
41
including advanced semiconductor design, frontier algorithms and of course transformational applications.
42
Now the computing power this stack requires is integral to advancing AI technology.
43
and to safeguard America's advantage
44
The Trump administration will ensure
45
that the most powerful AI systems are built in the U .S with American designed and manufactured chips.
46
Now just because we're the leader doesn't mean we want to or need to go it alone, of And let me be emphatic about this point.
47
America wants to partner with all of you.
48
And we want to embark on the AI revolution before us with a spirit of openness and collaboration.
49
But to create that kind of trust,
50
We need international regulatory regimes that fosters the creation of AI technology rather than strangles it.
51
And we need our European friends in particular to look to this new frontier with optimism.
52
rather than trepidation.
53
Now the development of cutting edge AI in the US is no accident.
54
By preserving an open regulatory environment, we've encouraged American innovators to experiment and to make unparalleled R &D investments.
55
of the $700 billion, give or take, that's estimated to be spent on AI in 2028, over half of it will likely be invested in the United States of America.
56
Now, this administration will not be the one to snuff out the startups
57
and the grad students producing some of the most groundbreaking applications of artificial intelligence.
58
Instead, our laws will keep big tech, little tech, and all other developers on a level playing field.
59
Now with the president's recent executive order on AI, we're developing an AI action plan that avoids an overly precautionary regulatory regime
60
while ensuring that all Americans benefit from the technology and its transformative potential.
61
Now we invite your countries to work with us and to follow that model if it makes sense for your nation.
62
However, the Trump administration is troubled by reports that some foreign governments
63
are considering tightening the screws on US tech companies with international footprints.
64
Now, America cannot and will not accept that.
65
And we think it's a terrible mistake, not just for the United States of America, but for your own countries.
66
The U .S innovators of all sizes already know what it's like to deal with onerous international rules.
67
Many of our most productive tech companies are forced to deal with the EU's Digital Services Act
68
and the massive regulations it created about taking down content and policing so -called misinformation.
69
And of course, We want to ensure the internet is a safe place.
70
But it is one thing to prevent a predator from preying on a child on the Internet.
71
And it is something quite different to prevent a grown man
72
or woman from accessing an opinion that the government thinks is misinformation.
73
Meanwhile, for smaller firms, navigating the GDPR means paying endless legal compliance costs, or otherwise risking massive fines.
74
Now for some, the easiest way to avoid the dilemma has been to simply block EU users in the first place.
75
Is this really the future that we want, ladies and gentlemen?
76
I think the answer for all of us should be no.
77
Now there's no issue where we worry about more than regulation when it comes to energy.
78
And again, I appreciated the comments of so many at the conference.
79
because they recognize that we can't, we stand now at the frontier of an AI industry that is hungry,
80
for reliable power and high -quality semiconductors.
81
Yet too many of our friends are deindustrializing on the one hand, and chasing reliable power out of their nations and off their grids with the other.
82
The AI future.
83
is not going to be won by hand -wringing about safety, it will be won by building.
84
from reliable power plants to the manufacturing facilities that can produce the chips of the future.
85
Now, at a personal level, what excites me most about AI is that it is grounded in the real and the physical economy.
86
The success of the sector isn't just a matter of smart people sitting in front of a computer screen and coding, It depends on those who work with their hands.
87
Even as robotics will change our factories.
88
It will certainly make our health care providers better at treating diseases, but it will also depend on the data produced by those healthcare providers,
89
by those doctors and nurses.
90
I believe it will help us create and store new modes of power in the future.
91
But right now, AI cannot take off unless the world builds the energy infrastructure to support it.
92
Now it's my view that tech innovation over the last 20 years
93
has often conjured images of smart people staring at computer screens.
94
"Engineering in the World of Bits." But the AI economy will primarily depend on and transform the world of atoms.
95
Now at this moment, we face the extraordinary prospect of a new industrial revolution.
96
one on par with the invention of the steam engine, or Bessemer Steel.
97
But it will never come to pass if overregulation deters innovators from taking the risks necessary to advance the ball.
98
nor will it occur
99
if we allow AI to become dominated by massive players looking to use the tech to censor or control users' thoughts.
100
And I'd ask if you step back a moment and ask yourself, who is most aggressively demanding that we, meaning political leaders gathered here today,
101
do the most aggressive regulation, It is very often the people who already have an incumbent advantage in the market.
102
And when a massive incumbent comes to us asking us for safety regulations, We ought to ask whether that safety regulation is for the benefit of our people,
103
or whether it's for the benefit of the incumbent.
104
Now over the last few years, We've watched as governments, businesses,
105
and nonprofit organizations have advanced unpopular and I believe downright ahistorical social agendas through AI.
106
In the US, we had AI image generators trying to tell us that
107
George Washington was black or that America's doughboys in World War I were in fact women.
108
Now we laugh at this now.
109
And of course it was ridiculous.
110
But we have to remember the lessons from that ridiculous moment.
111
And what we take from it is that the Trump administration will ensure
112
that AI systems developed in America are free from ideological bias, and never restrict our citizens' right to free speech.
113
We can trust our people to think, consume information, to develop their own ideas,
114
and to debate with one another in the open marketplace of ideas.
115
Now we've also watched as hostile foreign adversaries have weaponized AI software to rewrite history, surveil users and censor speech.
116
This is hardly new, of course.
117
As they do with other tech,
118
some authoritarian regimes have stolen and used AI to strengthen their military intelligence and surveillance capabilities capture foreign data,
119
and create propaganda to undermine other nations' national security.
120
I want to be clear: this administration will block such efforts full stop.
121
We will safeguard American AI and chip technologies from theft, and misuse.
122
work with our allies and partners to strengthen and extend these protections and closed pathways.
123
to advertisers attaining AI capabilities that threaten all of our people.
124
And I would also remind our international friends here today that partnering with such regimes, it never pays off in the long term.
125
From CCTV to 5G equipment, we're all familiar with cheap tech in the marketplace that's been heavily subsidized and exported by authoritarian regimes.
126
But as I know, and I think some of us in this room have learned from experience
127
Partnering with them means chaining your nation to an authoritarian master.
128
that seeks to infiltrate dig in and seize your information infrastructure.
129
Should a deal seem too good to be true, just remember the old adage that we learned in Silicon Valley, If you aren't paying for the product, you are the product.
130
Finally, this administration wants to be very clear about one last point.
131
we will always center American workers in our AI policy.
132
We refuse to view AI as a purely disruptive technology that will inevitably automate away our labor force we believe
133
and we will fight for policies that ensure that AI is going to make our workers more productive,
134
And we expect that they will reap the rewards with higher wages, better benefits, and safer and more prosperous communities.
135
from law to medicine, manufacturing
136
The most immediate applications of AI almost all involve supplementing not replacing the work being done by Americans.
137
Now, combined with this administration's worker -first approach to immigration, We believe that the US labor force prepared to use AI to its fullest extent.
138
will instead attract the attention of businesses that have offshored some of these roles.
139
To accomplish this, the administration will make sure that America has the best trained workforce in the world.
140
Our schools will teach students how to manage, how to supervise, and how to interact with AI -enabled tools as they become more
141
and more a part of our everyday lives.
142
And as AI creates new jobs, and industries, Our government, businesses,
143
and labor organizations have an obligation to work together to empower the workers not just of the United States, but all over the world.
144
To that end, for all major AI policy decisions coming from the federal government, The Trump administration will guarantee American workers a seat at the table,
145
and we're very proud of that.
146
Now, I've taken up enough of your time, so I'd like to close with just a quick story.
147
This is a beautiful country, President Macron, and I know that you're proud of it and should be.
148
And yesterday as I was touring Ley and Valide, with General Gravette with my three kids.
149
He was kind enough to show me the sword that belong to America's dearest international friend from our own revolution, of course, the Marquis de Lafayette.
150
He let me hold the sword, but of course he made me put on the white gloves beforehand.
151
And it got me thinking of this country, France, and of course of my own country, and the beautiful civilization that we have built together.
152
with weapons like that saber.
153
Weapons that are dangerous in the wrong hands, but are incredible tools for liberty and prosperity in the right hands.
154
I couldn't help but think of the conference today.
155
If we choose the wrong approach on other things that could be conceived of as dangerous, things like AI, and choose to hold ourselves back,
156
it will alter not only our GDP or the stock market, but the very future.
157
of the project that Lafayette and the American founders set off to create.
158
Now this doesn't mean, of course, that all concerns about safety go out the window.
159
but focus matters and we must focus now on the opportunity.
160
to catch lightning in a bottle, unleash our most brilliant innovators, and use AI to improve the well -being of our nations and their peoples.
161
with great confidence.
162
I can say it is an opportunity that the Trump administration will not squander.
163
And we hope everyone convened here today feels exactly the same.
164
Thank you, and God bless you all.
165
Thank you.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
