Washington (USA), 8 Oct. (LaPresse) – In a ceremony at the renamed Institute of Peace in Washington, Donald Trump celebrated with the National Medal of Science and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation some of the tech industry’s top billionaire leaders, such as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and to Lisa Su, CEO of semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices. Each of them was born abroad: Musk in South Africa, Brin in Russia, and Huang and Su in Taiwan. Also honored was Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell, promoter of the special government investment accounts for minors known as ‘Trump Accounts,’ for which he donated several billion dollars. Trump called this group of billionaires “national treasures,” comparing them to his uncle, John Trump, an electrical engineer and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1983A memorable day for the world of science and technology: it is the most important day ever. You will go down in history as great protagonists,” the president said. These honors-part of a summit aimed at celebrating a new “golden age” of science-fit in with Trump’s praise of these entrepreneurs for their role in accelerating the development of artificial intelligence, a technology he calls “super intelligence.” The president has increasingly focused on this technology to achieve his economic agenda, pushing for the United States to lead its development, opposing calls to introduce control measures that he believes would stifle growth.
