Hours before meeting with AI executives: Trump threatens them with a major move

The Trump administration relaunched the America.gov portal as an AI-powered chatbot, hours before a summit of tech giants at the White House. The system, powered by Google's Gemini and SpaceXAI's Grok, aims to replace government bureaucracy with an interactive chat interface. The launch is seen as a message to industry leaders: the US intends to become the world's largest AI consumer, while rejecting calls for regulation.

The Trump administration relaunched the official America.gov portal, transforming it into an AI-powered chatbot interface, just hours before a summit of tech giants at the White House. The system, powered by Google's Gemini and SpaceXAI's Grok language models, allows citizens to interact with government agencies through an interactive chat conversation, instead of sifting through thousands of pages and forms. The site requires no account creation, supports voice dictation and multiple languages, and provides answers backed by official sources. In its current phase, the system focuses on providing information and directing users to services, but the goal is to turn it into an autonomous agent that performs end-to-end actions, including issuing a first passport online and enrolling in Medicare services. The launch is perceived as a clear message to industry leaders invited to lunch at the White House: the United States intends to become the world's largest and most advanced AI consumer, while rejecting calls for regulation and adopting a hands-off government approach.
