US Vice President JD Vance gave a fantastic speech at the AI Action Summit in Paris on Tuesday, where he said the Trump administration "will sure that the most powerful AI systems are built in the US with American design and manufactured chips".
President Trump has been steadfast in wanting the USA to benefit from all of its silicon prowess, and now his running mate VP Vance has said the same thing.
VP Vance said: "The Trump administration believes AI will have countless revolutionary applications in economic innovation, job creation, national security, healthcare, free expression and beyond. To restrict its development now will not only unfairly benefit incumbents in the space, it would mean paralyzing one of the most promising technologies we have seen in generations".

He continued: "To safeguard America's advantage the Trump administration will ensure that the most powerful AI systems are built in the U.S. with American-designed and manufactured chips".
"We've also watched as hostile foreign adversaries have weaponized AI software to rewrite history, surveil users and censor speech ... Some authoritarian regimes have stolen and used AI to strengthen their military intelligence and surveillance capabilities to capture foreign data and create propaganda to undermine other nations' national security. I want to be clear, this administration will block such efforts full stop".
