Fox News: Texas GOP could stall Trump’s bold AI vision with red tape as China races ahead: 'Investors are nervous'
President Trump's AI initiative, "Stargate," aims to establish 20 data centers nationwide, with Texas as the primary site. However, a new Texas bill could complicate this plan by imposing additional regulatory reviews and fees, potentially delaying the project and driving investments to other states.
Supporters of the initiative argue that the legislation could hinder the U.S.'s competitive edge in AI, especially as rival nations advance. While Texas officials claim the bill will support Trump's goals, critics warn it may ultimately jeopardize significant economic opportunities and national security.
