Empowering America's AI Dominance through Decentralized Infrastructure

Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging technology, but a fundamental component of modern society, transforming the way we work, govern, and live. As AI becomes integral to every major institution, the underlying infrastructure is struggling to keep pace. The United States is currently leading in AI development, but China is rapidly gaining ground with its DeepSeek model, which rivals top-tier U.S. models. To maintain its edge, America must prioritize the development of decentralized infrastructure, allowing for greater agility, transparency, and trust. Decentralized systems can operate near localized renewable energy sources, reducing reliance on centralized data centers and enhancing the nation's ability to withstand digital threats. By incentivizing distributed infrastructure, funding research and development, and streamlining support for next-generation energy sources, the United States can reduce its energy bottleneck, level the playing field for smaller players, and ensure a resilient and free AI ecosystem. The path forward requires decisive action, leveraging America's edge to build a decentralized infrastructure that guarantees resilience, transparency, and freedom, and defines the future of AI on its own terms.
