Trump Proposes Dividends for Data Center Host Communities
President Donald Trump proposed paying dividends to residents in communities hosting data centers and launched an AI-powered federal services portal.
Donald Trump proposed providing dividends to Americans living in communities that host data centers, arguing that residents should benefit directly from the economic activity these facilities generate. Speaking Tuesday, Trump rebranded artificial intelligence as super intelligence, calling AI a fake word, and urged states to welcome data center growth to avoid economic stagnancy.
The announcement followed a White House meeting with technology leaders including Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, and Jensen Huang. The proposal aligns with similar suggestions from Senator Bernie Sanders and Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon regarding the distribution of funds to impacted communities.
Simultaneously, the administration launched America.gov, an AI-powered portal designed to streamline public access to federal services.
