The Trump-led United States government is intensifying its effort to position the nation as the leader in artificial intelligence (AI).
In a recent post on X, the CEO of Dell Technologies, Michael Dell, revealed he was part of a meeting held by President Trump, Elon Musk, and other tech CEOs centered on enhancing and accelerating the leadership of the US in AI and technology.
“We had a productive discussion with @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @elonmusk and other tech CEOs about enhancing government efficiency and accelerating U.S. leadership in AI and technology,” Dell wrote in an X post.
The CEO also revealed plans for further discussions in the week. “We are proud to be a trusted AI partner for the U.S. government and look forward to more engaging discussions with customers and policymakers this week.”
The meeting comes at a time when the U.S. government is increasingly focused on using technology to solve complex challenges. President Donald Trump has placed significant emphasis on advancing technology development in the United States, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.
The US government has taken specific steps to position the US as a global leader in these fields, focusing on innovation, economic growth, and national security.
One major action was the appointment of David Sacks as the White House “AI and Crypto Czar.” This role, though not subject to Senate confirmation, gives Sacks significant influence over AI and crypto policy, including the development of a legal framework to support the industry.
Another key step was the signing of an executive order directing federal agencies to develop an AI action plan within 180 days and supporting large-scale AI initiatives, such as the proposed $500 billion “Stargate” project, which aims to bolster AI infrastructure and keep tech companies from moving overseas.
His administration has embraced blockchain as a driver of innovation, financial decentralization, and economic opportunity. A cornerstone of Trump’s blockchain policy is the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile.
On March 6, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to create these reserves, using cryptocurrencies already owned by the federal government, primarily those seized through criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings.
The Trump administration is focused on assembling industry experts to create a cohesive economic system that prioritizes U.S. prosperity. This approach, embodied in the MAGA (Make America Great Again) philosophy, extends across vital tech sectors.
In a historic move, the White House hosted its first-ever Crypto Summit, bringing together top Web3 leaders to discuss critical issues affecting the U.S.
