Donald Trump a remis le 8 octobre les National Medals of Science à Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Lisa Su et Sergey Brin lors du « Science: A New Golden Age Summit » tenu à l'US Institute of Peace de Washington, rapporte NBC News. Satya Nadella et Michael Dell ont pour leur part reçu les National Medals of Technology and Innovation.
En marge de la cérémonie, l'administration a annoncé environ 2,4 Md$ de crédits de calcul IA et d'outils scientifiques promis aux agences fédérales par OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Amazon Web Services et Micron Technology. Le détail entreprise par entreprise n'est pas publié.
« We live in an age of American wonders and technological marvels, and with the help of the brilliant men and women here today, we will always be on top », a lancé Trump à la salle, avant d'ajouter : « We are an extremely high-IQ audience for a change ». Michael Kratsios, directeur du White House Office of Science and Technology Policy et pilote du sommet, résume la ligne de l'exécutif : « Super intelligence is going to be the biggest unlock for scientists ». Depuis un décret présidentiel de septembre 2026, l'administration emploie officiellement le terme « super intelligence » (SI) plutôt qu'« IA » dans ses communications.
Jensen Huang, en recevant sa médaille, a rappelé son parcours d'immigré : « I was an immigrant, and my parents brought us here to pursue the American dream. It's an incredible honor and something that could only happen here in America. » Farnam Jahanian, président de Carnegie Mellon, a enchaîné en plaidant pour « an immigration policy that can recruit the best talent to come to this country ».
La porte-parole de la Maison-Blanche Liz Huston a déclaré que l'administration « is grateful for the contributions of these incredible leaders in science and technology. These recipients are helping ensure America keeps leading the world in innovation. » Nvidia totalise désormais 125 alertes AI Weekly sur les 90 derniers jours, et Elon Musk y figure 24 fois sur la même période.
