What in the marketing god's name is this?!
PS: It appears a relatively unknown (to laymen) acronym relating to economics. Still weird though.
Do you believe that AI will offer the same productivity increases as general purpose computing, electricity or iron working?
Yes, I believe it will unlock productivity at a scale done by the technologies you listed.
That said, I also believe it is incompatible with the way America is set up today.
Remember that in the era of general purpose computing, electricity and iron working, humans did not have to stick to employers for 30+ years. They could choose to not be employed and still get adequate healthcare and services.
Unfortunately, in today's America, a person is left hapless if they don't have a job. In part, due to systemic problems such as health insurance tied to employment. In part, due to prices being so high that new humans cannot reasonably survive without decent paying jobs.
With the efficiency created by AI, a large number of rich people will need to fail and lose their wealth. The prices will need to drop - this allowing new humans to take risks at lower prices. Without this, there is no productivity boost like electricity or iron works.
> This starts with advances and investments in world-leading American AI technology and infrastructure.
We are lighting money on fire and need more. Give us more money. Don't ask questions.
> Second, the country needs to champion skilling programs that will enable widespread AI adoption and enhanced career opportunities across the economy.
We need more of you to buy this half baked shit we keep throwing at you. Give us more money. Don't ask questions.
> Finally, the United States must focus on exporting American AI to our allies and friends, bolstering our domestic economy and ensuring that other countries benefit from AI advancements.
Politicians in this country are so fucking stupid that we can talk about AI like it's lumber or steel and how we need to export it like it's a tangible thing. Give us more money. Don't ask questions.

"Initially intended to be fielded in 2021, ergonomic and reliability issues have pushed this date back to 2025. Soldiers and offices of the Department of Defense and Congress have repeatedly criticized the device and its development process for issues with technology and project management."
But hey, let's pitch "American AI", developed by H1Bs, to Trump now.
