The Biden administration has made federal land available for AI data centers and established guidelines for developers.

• Biden signed a new executive order to accelerate the construction of AI data centers and enhance national security.
• The move enables the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy to lease federal sites for the construction of data centers utilizing clean energy resources.

On Thursday, President Biden signed an executive order to accelerate the construction of AI infrastructure within the country and enhance the national security risks associated with the technology.

The move enables the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy to rent federal land for massive AI data centers.

The White House stated that AI has the potential to significantly impact various sectors of our economy, such as health care, transportation, and education, and it is crucial not to outsource it.

The order instructed AI developers to manage the leased centers at full cost, in addition to providing clean energy resources to meet their energy demands, to avoid rising electricity costs.
