That was President Trump at this week’s AI summit in Washington, signaling what many in Silicon Valley and D.C. have already sensed: The U.S. government is all-in on AI.

Trump’s announcement came with three executive orders and the release of America’s AI Action Plan, a sweeping roadmap with 90+ policy actions. It’s a hefty read, so we broke it down for you.

The AI Action Plan (entitled “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan”) is an all-encompassing strategic blueprint with detailed policy actions. The three Executive Orders are enforcement tools, designed to jumpstart key pieces of that strategy.

By going all-in on three big strategies. First, cut the red tape—roll back regulations, encourage open-source models, and invest in “interpretability” research to better understand how today’s most advanced AI systems actually work. Second, build big and invest in AI infrastructure. And third, think global to keep adversaries from catching up (read: China).

If you’ve got spare time and a strong cup of coffee, you can dive in to the full Plan here.

If everything goes according to plan, expect:

✔ Faster AI everywhere — speed in innovation + speed in deployment + speed in adoption everywhere from healthcare to education to national defense.

✔ A massive job wave — not just for engineers, it’s a full-spectrum labor demand across tech and blue-collar trades (politicians love claiming new jobs).

✔ Cheaper, more powerful AI tools for business — thanks to $500B in private investment on projects that aim to ease the cost of training new models.

What “brighter” means will shape the next wave of innovation. Winning the AI race will likely spark a new golden age and a new set of problems we haven’t even imagined.

There’s a flood of niche AI tools out there—some brilliant, some not so useful. The best part? Testing them out and riding the cutting edge of what AI can do.

Google Labs offers a tool called Career Dreamer, an AI-powered application that acts as your personal (and free) career coach. It uses Gemini AI and labor-market data to match your skills to new roles, highlight transferable strengths, and even recommend certifications like Google Career Certificates.

The goal? Help job seekers navigate career pivots in a world that’s shifting fast toward skills-based hiring.

Here’s how it works:

And the best part? It’s free, no account needed—just a simple way to explore what possibilities AI can uncover for you. You might be surprised by what you find.

OpenAI’s next big release, GPT-5, could arrive as early as August, according to The Verge. The model is expected to combine multiple systems, including the o3 model, into a single AI capable of handling a broader range of tasks. This move aligns with OpenAI’s goal to merge its GPT and o-series into a unified platform. However, with no official confirmation, the launch timeline could shift due to technical challenges or competitive pressures—or maybe even Meta’s recent talent raid on OpenAI.

Amazon is scooping up Bee, an AI wearables startup behind a $50 bracelet and Apple Watch app that listens to your conversations to create reminders and to-do lists. Bee wants to build a “cloud phone” for ambient AI, offering a cheaper alternative to pricey devices like Humane’s $499 AI Pin. The move hints at Amazon’s ambitions in AI wearables as rivals like Meta, Apple, and OpenAI race into the space. Privacy is the big question and Bee claims it doesn’t store audio, but Amazon’s history with user data is, well, complicated.

Apple’s latest iOS 26 developer beta is giving AI another chance. The update brings back Apple Intelligence-powered notification summaries for news and entertainment after the feature was pulled earlier this year for botching headlines. Users can opt in, but Apple cautions that summaries might “change the meaning” and include errors (so, same as before).

Google’s search business is holding strong despite pressure from AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Its Gemini-powered “AI Overview” feature now has over 2 billion monthly users (up from 1.5 billion last quarter), and a new “AI Mode” is rolling out to keep users engaged, even as those quick answers reduce clicks on the links that drive Google’s ad revenue

Many expected AI Overviews to shrink search traffic by giving users answers upfront, but the opposite happened when search impressions jumped 49% year-over-year. Instead of replacing search, AI seems to be driving more queries, changing how people interact with Google rather than reducing reliance on it.

The proof is in the pudding: Google’s search revenue hit a record $54.2 billion, up 12% year-over-year and beating expectations. But Google still needs to convince advertisers that AI answers deliver ROI, all while watching for threats from AI-first browsers like Perplexity and potentially OpenAI.
