President Donald Trump, motivational coach Tony Robbins and Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia joined forces to unveil a new AI-powered website, America.gov, at the Andrew W Mellon Auditorium in Washington. The website aims to simplify government services by serving as a single entry point for various inquiries. Trump praised the website as a restoration of America's founding promise and a reinvention of government for the 21st century.
Tony Robbins emphasized that the event was not partisan but focused on improving the relationship between citizens and their government. Gebbia, who plays a significant role in designing America.gov, demonstrated the website's design, which consolidates 29,000 US government websites. He mentioned the website's AI integration would improve citizens' lives but stressed that full functionality would not be available until 2027.
Elon Musk and Nvidia's chief executive Jensen Huang were also present. Trump claimed the website would eliminate the need for voters to show government identification for elections and expressed hope for the passage of the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship. He also boasted that the website is nearly "impossible to hack."
The AI and technology executives' prominent role in the event may attract scrutiny, as concerns about AI's impact on the labor market and potential environmental consequences continue to grow.
