A White House research paper argues that artificial intelligence could trigger a new “Great Divergence,” with early leaders in AI investment and deployment outpacing rivals in growth. Framing AI as comparable in scale to the Industrial Revolution, the paper highlights rapidly accelerating metrics—investment, performance, and adoption—that it says are doubling within months in some cases. It surveys projections for AI-driven GDP gains and labor-market shifts, while acknowledging substantial uncertainty and the need for continuous measurement. The report evaluates countries on those indicators and contends the Trump administration’s push for innovation, infrastructure, deregulation, and technology exports positions the U.S. to maintain global leadership. It concludes with policy steps the administration says are intended to ensure American dominance in AI.
