Description (excerpt):

Building AI in the United States is a national security and economic imperative. As AI systems grow more capable, the energy and computational requirements to train and deploy frontier AI are surging. Recent estimates by outside experts and our own research at Anthropic suggest that the U.S. AI sector is on track to require at least 50 gigawatts of electric capacity by 2028, much of which will be needed to train the world’s most capable models.

America has the economic strength and technical expertise to meet these needs. But doing so will require addressing regulatory challenges—as well as supply chain, financial, and labor bottlenecks—to unlock America’s innovative potential. While this task will not be easy, the United States has ample options to enable the buildout of AI infrastructure in time to sustain our AI leadership in the coming years. And the executive branch—as this report explains—can unlock this potential without new authorities for Congress, if it chooses.
