To Win the AI Race, Congress Must Tackle Wireless Permitting

President Trump is hyper-focused on winning the AI race, and rightly so. The champion will be a country that ushers in an era of unmatched productivity and economic growth and leads global advances in national security. For the Trump Administration, winning on AI is “a national security imperative.” And it’s a bipartisan goal. “No technology offers more promise to our modern world than artificial intelligence,” according to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). They are both right. So how do we win a global AI tech race?  We start by looking right in our own backyard and making sure each American community has rock-solid connectivity. Connectivity is the lifeblood of our data-driven world—data that makes AI possible. As Congress looks to advance policies to address the energy and permitting needs of data centers, we need an equal focus on the permitting issues to unleash the full potential of wireless connectivity—and therefore the full potential of our AI future.
