Burgum: ‘Build, baby, build’ data centers to win AI race versus China

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is pushing for the construction of new data centers to fuel the nation’s artificial intelligence ambitions in competition against China.

Mr. Burgum, who also leads President Trump’s National Energy Dominance Council, believes the U.S. has a technological advantage but “China is winning on electricity.”

“We’re going to ’map, baby, map’ to figure out where all these resources are and then we’re going to ’mine, baby, mine’ so we can ’build, baby, build’ because we got to build AI data centers,” he said in an interview that aired Saturday.

Making sure America does not lose the global technological arms race is on the agenda for the National Energy Dominance Council, Mr. Burgum told the Hill & Valley Forum last week.

“We can win the AI arms race with China, we can have enough power to power our cities, we can build grid security, we can support all of you, and we can get back in the game where we’re not relying on imports for all of the things because we’ve shut down American development across all of our public lands,” Mr. Burgum said at the Hill & Valley Forum.

Well, like it or not it is clear from moves such as this that AI is coming. To try to stop it would be like King Canute trying to stop the tide coming in. As those containing and led by the Holy Spirit, we should do what we can to try to compel government to put restrictions on AI in order to protect humanity. But that likely is not going to happen. Nonetheless we can try. That said, the one thing we CAN do successfully is try to share the good news of Jesus Christ with everybody we can before the doors of this Age shut forever. It is for that purpose that God still has us here.
