According to Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis), the White House and the U.S. Department of Energy have launched a new initiative recognizing artificial intelligence’s transformative potential to accelerate progress in scientific research. This collaboration aims to leverage advanced AI models for breakthroughs in areas such as energy innovation, climate science, and high-performance computing, creating new business opportunities for AI companies specializing in scientific applications. The initiative is expected to foster public-private partnerships and drive AI adoption in government-funded science, according to source (x.com/mkratsios47/status/1993102181940314377).

According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, White House aides are growing frustrated with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for escalating a public dispute with Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX (source: freebeacon.com, Sawyer Merritt). This ongoing feud is causing internal distractions within the administration and may delay or complicate the advancement of critical AI-driven transportation initiatives, as Musk is a significant player in autonomous vehicle and AI innovation. The conflict underscores the importance of stable government-industry relationships for the successful deployment of AI technologies in transportation and mobility sectors.
