U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed an ambitious executive order on artificial intelligence that aims to ensure the rapid and large-scale construction of infrastructure needed for advanced AI operations, such as large-scale data centers and new clean energy facilities, in the United States, the Associated Press reported.

The executive order directs federal agencies to accelerate the large-scale development of AI infrastructure at government facilities, while imposing requirements and safeguards on developers building in those locations.

It also directs certain agencies to provide federal sites for artificial intelligence data centers and new clean energy facilities. These agencies will help make it easier to connect infrastructure to the power grid and speed up the permitting process.
