The article criticizes the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” recent US legislation combining tax cuts, military and border spending, and major reductions to social safety nets, for its negative impact on America’s ability to compete in advanced artificial intelligence. While some Congressional members express serious concern about AI’s risks and global competition—especially with China—the final bill dramatically reduces support for the energy sources (like wind and solar) needed for data centers and undermines the safety nets for workers likely to be displaced by automation. The article warns that these policies will make it harder and more expensive for the US AI sector to grow, cede leadership to China, and rely more heavily on expensive, polluting energy sources, undermining both American innovation and climate goals.
