Trump floats data center dividends after White House AI summit

President Donald Trump proposed direct dividend payments for people living near data centers as a way to share the benefits of AI infrastructure projects. He made the comments Tuesday after hosting technology leaders at the White House. Trump said teachers could receive bonuses. He said data centers bring substantial money into nearby communities. Trump called AI a "fake word" and used the term "super intelligence" instead. Trump announced the launch of America.gov, an AI-powered portal for federal services. The White House meeting included Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, Greg Brockman, Dario Amodei, Satya Nadella, Elon Musk, Nikesh Arora and Brad Gerstner. Other lawmakers have floated similar ideas amid local opposition to data centers.
