President Biden's executive order addresses the race to build domestic data centers and clean energy plants in order to retain America's AI leadership.

President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Tuesday to provide federal support to address massive energy needs for fast-growing advanced artificial intelligence data centers, the White House said.

Under the new rules, the departments of Defense and Energy will each identify at least three sites where the private sector can build AI data centers.

The executive order calls on the federal departments of Defense and Energy to each identify at least three locations for private-sector data centers. It seeks to balance construction, consumer cost and environmental impact.

The government already leases federal lands for energy production, including fossil fuel exploration and renewable energy projects. Under the executive order, by February 28th, the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of Energy are supposed to find at least three sites each to host new AI data centers on land that their departments manage.

President Biden will sign an executive order Tuesday aimed at reducing barriers to construct new data centers and the accompanying energy infrastructure needed to power the development of artificial intelligence (AI).
