Our family business is thriving, growing, and hiring. We’re a case study for how AI is strengthening American manufacturing.

The Administration’s new federal artificial intelligence (AI) framework is a smart step toward ensuring America leads the AI race—not China. Combined with last year’s AI Action Plan, it reflects a growing recognition that leadership in AI requires more than innovation alone. It requires a national strategy. China has spent years aligning its government, industry, and infrastructure behind a single goal: global AI dominance. America must respond with the same clarity of purpose. That means accelerating innovation, building the infrastructure to power AI, and preparing our workforce for what comes next. If we get this right, we won’t just compete—we’ll set the global standard. foxnews.com/politics/white… #FoxNews

Tech dominance by China would mean the world’s digital infrastructure is built on authoritarian values of censorship, control, and surveillance. To counter China’s efforts, Congress should pass and fund America’s AI Action Plan to ensure the United States maintains its technological edge. americanedgeproject.org/chinas-tech-le…

NEW: American Edge Project study found that America’s data center and AI boom will generate nearly $27 billion in state and local tax revenue over the next decade, funding that can help pay for additional teachers, police, firefighters, and other community priorities.

China is building a full-stack AI ecosystem, backed by massive investments in compute, energy, and data centers, that can compete on the global stage. Learn more: americanedgeproject.org/chinas-tech-le…

While American lawmakers debate new limits on AI and the data centers that power it, something very real is happening in communities across this country: The AI boom is creating local jobs. Read more by @dougkelly here: americanedgeproject.org/from-local-pay…

China’s playbook to overtake the United States in technology, especially AI, is not being written in secret. Beijing is executing it in plain sight for the world to see. Here are five recent stories that reveal their strategy: americanedgeproject.org/chinas-tech-le…

AI leadership is global leadership; It is energy leadership, supply chain leadership, and workforce leadership. The window to build it is open now. washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4472183…

AI is helping small manufacturers across America thrive. @americanedge’s new ad features Cane Brew Sweet Tea in Mobile, AL, and makes the case for protecting our competitive edge. youtube.com/watch?v=MmKk32…

AI is helping small manufacturers across America thrive. @americanedge’s new ad features Cane Brew Sweet Tea in Mobile, AL, shows how we need AI to protect our competitive edge. youtube.com/watch?v=MmKk32….

A small business in Alabama is using AI to grow and hire more Americans. @americanedge’s new ad “Cane Brew” shows why we need policies that help AI flourish, not hand the advantage to China. youtube.com/watch?v=MmKk32…

The clock is ticking in our race against China for tech dominance, with one economist warning that the world could be running on a Chinese tech stack within a decade. That means the globe’s digital infrastructure would be built on China’s values of censorship, control, and surveillance, not the values embedded in American tech: freedom, opportunity, and expression. Congress should pass and fund the administration’s “AI Action Plan” to ensure we remain ahead. cnbc.com/2026/02/16/chi…

Without significant changes to our grid, American AI risks falling behind global competitors who enjoy more reliable and scalable power supplies. americanedgeproject.org/dont-let-permi…

@americanedge launches the 50-State AI Scorecard—an interactive tool showing how AI is creating jobs and driving investment in your state. See where you stand: americanedgeproject.org/new-50-state-a…

Americans recognize the high stakes of the global AI race. Across party lines, large majorities of voters are worried about China and other foreign adversaries surpassing the United States technologically. Read more ⤵️ americanedgeproject.org/voters-focused…

The AI boom is here — and it’s benefiting all 50 states. From data centers to semiconductors, AI infrastructure is creating millions of jobs. The next step is partnering with local communities to bring those jobs where they’re needed most. See more in @americanedge’s new report:

Our leaders need to prioritize investments in AI and energy capabilities to maintain U.S. tech leadership. A new @americanedge report shows how America can become the global AI leader. americanedgeproject.org/wp-content/upl…
