Trump’s AI infrastructure plans could face delays due to Texas Republicans

Republican-controlled state house poised to pass legislation that imposes regulatory hurdles on data centers

Donald Trump's plans to expand infrastructure to produce artificial intelligence in the US could face years of delays with the Republican-controlled Texas statehouse poised to pass legislation that imposes regulatory hurdles on data centers.

The Trump administration earlier this year announced that a joint venture called Stargate would construct a total of 20 data centers to provide computing power for AI as part of an effort to help the US compete against China for leadership of the technology and spur investors to pursue AI projects.
