Golden Age of Science Summit [Native YouTube auto-generated English captions; publisher: The White House; speaker labels reviewed separately] Unidentified speaker [00:00:00-00:00:03 (3 sec)] In July of this year, I presented a Unidentified speaker [00:00:03-00:00:04 (1 sec)] report to the president [music] called Unidentified speaker [00:00:04-00:00:06 (2 sec)] Science a New Golden Age, and it laid Unidentified speaker [00:00:06-00:00:09 (3 sec)] out a playbook for how the United States Unidentified speaker [00:00:09-00:00:10 (1 sec)] [music] can revitalize its science Unidentified speaker [00:00:10-00:00:13 (3 sec)] ecosystem. It covers how we can once Unidentified speaker [00:00:13-00:00:15 (2 sec)] again support young American scientists, Unidentified speaker [00:00:15-00:00:17 (2 sec)] how we can boldly pursue [music] Unidentified speaker [00:00:17-00:00:19 (2 sec)] national scientific missions, and how Unidentified speaker [00:00:19-00:00:20 (1 sec)] ultimately we can apply super Unidentified speaker [00:00:20-00:00:22 (2 sec)] intelligence to scientific discovery. Unidentified speaker [00:00:22-00:00:24 (2 sec)] That has culminated [music] today with Unidentified speaker [00:00:24-00:00:26 (2 sec)] this summit here in Washington to bring Unidentified speaker [00:00:26-00:00:27 (1 sec)] all the pieces of the innovation Unidentified speaker [00:00:27-00:00:29 (2 sec)] ecosystem together, whether it's from Unidentified speaker [00:00:29-00:00:30 (1 sec)] government, [music] Unidentified speaker [00:00:30-00:00:31 (1 sec)] academia, private sector, and Unidentified speaker [00:00:31-00:00:34 (3 sec)] philanthropy to unite together to push Unidentified speaker [00:00:34-00:00:37 (3 sec)] and accelerate American science. Donald Trump [00:00:37-00:00:40 (3 sec)] >> For 250 years, the United States has led Donald Trump [00:00:40-00:00:42 (2 sec)] the world in innovation and transformed Donald Trump [00:00:42-00:00:44 (2 sec)] the lives of countless [music] people Donald Trump [00:00:44-00:00:47 (3 sec)] using science and technology. Donald Trump [00:00:47-00:00:50 (3 sec)] We tamed electricity, invented the light Donald Trump [00:00:50-00:00:51 (1 sec)] bulb, Donald Trump [00:00:51-00:00:52 (1 sec)] >> [music] Donald Trump [00:00:52-00:00:54 (2 sec)] >> developed the airplane, Donald Trump [00:00:54-00:00:56 (2 sec)] harnessed the atom, unleashed the power Donald Trump [00:00:56-00:00:59 (3 sec)] [music] of personal computers, Donald Trump [00:00:59-00:01:01 (2 sec)] created the internet, Donald Trump [00:01:01-00:01:04 (3 sec)] pioneered super intelligence, and Donald Trump [00:01:04-00:01:06 (2 sec)] invented almost everything else of Donald Trump [00:01:06-00:01:08 (2 sec)] genius and great importance [music] Donald Trump [00:01:08-00:01:11 (3 sec)] anywhere in the world. Donald Trump [00:01:11-00:01:13 (2 sec)] We live in an age of American wonders Donald Trump [00:01:13-00:01:16 (3 sec)] and technological marvels, Donald Trump [00:01:16-00:01:18 (2 sec)] and with the help of the brilliant men Donald Trump [00:01:18-00:01:21 (3 sec)] [music] and women here today, Donald Trump [00:01:21-00:01:24 (3 sec)] we will always be on top. Unidentified speaker [00:01:24-00:01:25 (1 sec)] >> We're in the golden age [music] of Unidentified speaker [00:01:25-00:01:27 (2 sec)] science and technology because President Unidentified speaker [00:01:27-00:01:29 (2 sec)] Trump has assembled outstanding Unidentified speaker [00:01:29-00:01:32 (3 sec)] leadership that is getting this nation Unidentified speaker [00:01:32-00:01:35 (3 sec)] underway doing the big bold endeavors Unidentified speaker [00:01:35-00:01:37 (2 sec)] that once defined American Unidentified speaker [00:01:37-00:01:39 (2 sec)] exceptionalism from decades past. We're Unidentified speaker [00:01:39-00:01:41 (2 sec)] taking on the most challenging Unidentified speaker [00:01:41-00:01:43 (2 sec)] infrastructure projects, the most Unidentified speaker [00:01:43-00:01:46 (3 sec)] demanding science and engineering Unidentified speaker [00:01:46-00:01:48 (2 sec)] programs [music] from quantum computing Unidentified speaker [00:01:48-00:01:49 (1 sec)] to returning to the moon and building a Unidentified speaker [00:01:49-00:01:51 (2 sec)] moon base to getting underway on space Unidentified speaker [00:01:51-00:01:54 (3 sec)] and on [music] nuclear power. Unidentified speaker [00:01:54-00:01:56 (2 sec)] >> I think it's just been Unidentified speaker [00:01:56-00:01:59 (3 sec)] time. Uh if you think about uh [music] Unidentified speaker [00:01:59-00:02:01 (2 sec)] just over 100 years ago when people were Unidentified speaker [00:02:01-00:02:03 (2 sec)] starting to have the automobile, the Unidentified speaker [00:02:03-00:02:05 (2 sec)] airplane, you know, nobody could have Unidentified speaker [00:02:05-00:02:07 (2 sec)] [music] imagined flight before then. Unidentified speaker [00:02:07-00:02:09 (2 sec)] I think Unidentified speaker [00:02:09-00:02:12 (3 sec)] where the digital technology is now Unidentified speaker [00:02:12-00:02:13 (1 sec)] coming to, [music] Unidentified speaker [00:02:13-00:02:17 (4 sec)] the capability of the AIs today, it was Unidentified speaker [00:02:17-00:02:19 (2 sec)] unimaginable just a couple decades Unidentified speaker [00:02:19-00:02:20 (1 sec)] [music] ago. Unidentified speaker [00:02:20-00:02:24 (4 sec)] And the things that we are able to do Unidentified speaker [00:02:24-00:02:26 (2 sec)] incredibly quickly now that we could Unidentified speaker [00:02:26-00:02:29 (3 sec)] never before [music] Unidentified speaker [00:02:29-00:02:30 (1 sec)] is unbelievable. Unidentified speaker [00:02:30-00:02:33 (3 sec)] >> We're in the golden age of American tech Unidentified speaker [00:02:33-00:02:35 (2 sec)] and science [music] because Unidentified speaker [00:02:35-00:02:37 (2 sec)] there are so many industries where Unidentified speaker [00:02:37-00:02:39 (2 sec)] simultaneously Unidentified speaker [00:02:39-00:02:41 (2 sec)] we are at the verge of significant Unidentified speaker [00:02:41-00:02:42 (1 sec)] breakthroughs. Unidentified speaker [00:02:42-00:02:42 (0 sec)] >> [music] Unidentified speaker [00:02:42-00:02:45 (3 sec)] >> In my career, I've gone from a graduate Unidentified speaker [00:02:45-00:02:48 (3 sec)] student doing very fundamental research Unidentified speaker [00:02:48-00:02:51 (3 sec)] [music] to um Unidentified speaker [00:02:51-00:02:53 (2 sec)] being able to do more practical research Unidentified speaker [00:02:53-00:02:55 (2 sec)] over the years because of government Unidentified speaker [00:02:55-00:02:58 (3 sec)] funding to develop that technology. So, Unidentified speaker [00:02:58-00:03:00 (2 sec)] when you talk about private public Unidentified speaker [00:03:00-00:03:03 (3 sec)] partnerships and that whole ecosystem Unidentified speaker [00:03:03-00:03:05 (2 sec)] working well, you know, I kind of been Unidentified speaker [00:03:05-00:03:07 (2 sec)] living that and I really appreciate Unidentified speaker [00:03:07-00:03:08 (1 sec)] that. Unidentified speaker [00:03:08-00:03:11 (3 sec)] >> I think we have accelerating Unidentified speaker [00:03:11-00:03:15 (4 sec)] progress in science and technology Unidentified speaker [00:03:15-00:03:17 (2 sec)] really because we have so many Unidentified speaker [00:03:17-00:03:18 (1 sec)] innovative Unidentified speaker [00:03:18-00:03:21 (3 sec)] engineers and scientists and Unidentified speaker [00:03:21-00:03:24 (3 sec)] companies and our capital system is Unidentified speaker [00:03:24-00:03:25 (1 sec)] investing in those. [music] Unidentified speaker [00:03:25-00:03:27 (2 sec)] >> When you think about um what we're doing Unidentified speaker [00:03:27-00:03:29 (2 sec)] here in America, we are pushing the Unidentified speaker [00:03:29-00:03:32 (3 sec)] bleeding edge of every aspect of Unidentified speaker [00:03:32-00:03:34 (2 sec)] computing and science and Unidentified speaker [00:03:34-00:03:35 (1 sec)] superintelligence. Unidentified speaker [00:03:35-00:03:35 (0 sec)] >> [music] Unidentified speaker [00:03:35-00:03:37 (2 sec)] >> And we're solving some of the world's Unidentified speaker [00:03:37-00:03:39 (2 sec)] most important challenges and problems Unidentified speaker [00:03:39-00:03:40 (1 sec)] that previously you never [music] Unidentified speaker [00:03:40-00:03:42 (2 sec)] thought could happen. And America's Unidentified speaker [00:03:42-00:03:44 (2 sec)] leading all of it. So, it's incredible Unidentified speaker [00:03:44-00:03:47 (3 sec)] time for um Americans in science. Unidentified speaker [00:03:47-00:03:49 (2 sec)] >> So, if you think about what happened the Unidentified speaker [00:03:49-00:03:51 (2 sec)] last time [music] there was this Unidentified speaker [00:03:51-00:03:53 (2 sec)] unbelievable change in the world in Unidentified speaker [00:03:53-00:03:55 (2 sec)] terms of a general purpose technology. Unidentified speaker [00:03:55-00:03:56 (1 sec)] [music] It was the industrial Unidentified speaker [00:03:56-00:03:58 (2 sec)] revolution. And the United States was Unidentified speaker [00:03:58-00:04:01 (3 sec)] perhaps the biggest Unidentified speaker [00:04:01-00:04:04 (3 sec)] importer of that and the scaler of that. Unidentified speaker [00:04:04-00:04:07 (3 sec)] This time, I think the United States is Unidentified speaker [00:04:07-00:04:09 (2 sec)] both the creator and the scaler. [music] Unidentified speaker [00:04:09-00:04:11 (2 sec)] >> This is really the inflection point for Unidentified speaker [00:04:11-00:04:14 (3 sec)] superintelligence and robots. When you Unidentified speaker [00:04:14-00:04:15 (1 sec)] have [music] superintelligence and Unidentified speaker [00:04:15-00:04:17 (2 sec)] robots, you can essentially invent Unidentified speaker [00:04:17-00:04:19 (2 sec)] anything and build anything. Unidentified speaker [00:04:19-00:04:20 (1 sec)] Unprecedented [music] medical Unidentified speaker [00:04:20-00:04:22 (2 sec)] breakthroughs. Unidentified speaker [00:04:22-00:04:23 (1 sec)] This is uh Unidentified speaker [00:04:23-00:04:25 (2 sec)] I think the most exciting time in Unidentified speaker [00:04:25-00:04:26 (1 sec)] history ever. Unidentified speaker [00:04:26-00:04:28 (2 sec)] >> With [music] everything that's happening Unidentified speaker [00:04:28-00:04:30 (2 sec)] across science overall, with all of the Unidentified speaker [00:04:30-00:04:32 (2 sec)] new discoveries happening in AI, with Unidentified speaker [00:04:32-00:04:33 (1 sec)] new data collection that's [music] Unidentified speaker [00:04:33-00:04:34 (1 sec)] possible, thanks to new sequencing Unidentified speaker [00:04:34-00:04:36 (2 sec)] technologies, thanks to CRISPR and so Unidentified speaker [00:04:36-00:04:38 (2 sec)] forth. Unidentified speaker [00:04:38-00:04:40 (2 sec)] I mean, there's a long way to go, but I Unidentified speaker [00:04:40-00:04:42 (2 sec)] feel very hopeful. Unidentified speaker [00:04:42-00:04:44 (2 sec)] >> When we see that something is about to Unidentified speaker [00:04:44-00:04:46 (2 sec)] be possible, Unidentified speaker [00:04:46-00:04:49 (3 sec)] all of a sudden the entire industries Unidentified speaker [00:04:49-00:04:51 (2 sec)] and all of the willpower of the Unidentified speaker [00:04:51-00:04:53 (2 sec)] entrepreneurs and scientists [music] and Unidentified speaker [00:04:53-00:04:54 (1 sec)] innovators, Unidentified speaker [00:04:54-00:04:56 (2 sec)] the resources of industry coming Unidentified speaker [00:04:56-00:04:58 (2 sec)] together, it is the reason why in the Unidentified speaker [00:04:58-00:05:00 (2 sec)] last 4 years [music] and what you'll see Unidentified speaker [00:05:00-00:05:03 (3 sec)] in the next 10 years, all of this energy Unidentified speaker [00:05:03-00:05:06 (3 sec)] is going to come together to give our Unidentified speaker [00:05:06-00:05:08 (2 sec)] country this incredible step function Unidentified speaker [00:05:08-00:05:10 (2 sec)] leap forward. Unidentified speaker [00:05:10-00:05:13 (3 sec)] >> Certainly, the progress from machine Unidentified speaker [00:05:13-00:05:14 (1 sec)] learning to artificial intelligence Unidentified speaker [00:05:14-00:05:17 (3 sec)] [music] to now superintelligence Unidentified speaker [00:05:17-00:05:19 (2 sec)] is really powering our [music] whole Unidentified speaker [00:05:19-00:05:22 (3 sec)] world forward and I think it is a great Unidentified speaker [00:05:22-00:05:24 (2 sec)] kind of leap forward and sort of speed Unidentified speaker [00:05:24-00:05:28 (4 sec)] up moment for [music] our species. And Unidentified speaker [00:05:28-00:05:29 (1 sec)] so, that has me tremendously excited. I Unidentified speaker [00:05:29-00:05:31 (2 sec)] think the pace of Unidentified speaker [00:05:31-00:05:34 (3 sec)] discovery and acceleration Unidentified speaker [00:05:34-00:05:37 (3 sec)] in science and technology in the next Unidentified speaker [00:05:37-00:05:38 (1 sec)] decade will be tremendous Unidentified speaker [00:05:38-00:05:38 (0 sec)] >> [music] Unidentified speaker [00:05:38-00:05:40 (2 sec)] >> because of this. Unidentified speaker [00:05:40-00:05:41 (1 sec)] >> Frankly, across the board. I mean, in Unidentified speaker [00:05:41-00:05:43 (2 sec)] every one of the most exciting domains Unidentified speaker [00:05:43-00:05:45 (2 sec)] from under the [music] sea to to surface Unidentified speaker [00:05:45-00:05:48 (3 sec)] to in air, to infrastructure, again Unidentified speaker [00:05:48-00:05:51 (3 sec)] energy, super intelligence, but I am uh Unidentified speaker [00:05:51-00:05:52 (1 sec)] in charge of NASA, so [music] of course Unidentified speaker [00:05:52-00:05:54 (2 sec)] the space domain is what's closest to my Unidentified speaker [00:05:54-00:05:57 (3 sec)] heart. And this is an opportunity during Unidentified speaker [00:05:57-00:05:59 (2 sec)] our time to really pursue and unlock the Unidentified speaker [00:05:59-00:06:01 (2 sec)] secrets of the universe, to return to Unidentified speaker [00:06:01-00:06:02 (1 sec)] the moon, build a moon base, get Unidentified speaker [00:06:02-00:06:04 (2 sec)] underway in nuclear power in space, Unidentified speaker [00:06:04-00:06:06 (2 sec)] potentially answer the question are we Unidentified speaker [00:06:06-00:06:07 (1 sec)] alone and are we alone even in our own Unidentified speaker [00:06:07-00:06:10 (3 sec)] solar system is only possible because of Unidentified speaker [00:06:10-00:06:12 (2 sec)] President Trump and because of this Unidentified speaker [00:06:12-00:06:14 (2 sec)] golden age of science and discovery that Unidentified speaker [00:06:14-00:06:16 (2 sec)] he's ushering in. Unidentified speaker [00:06:16-00:06:18 (2 sec)] >> President Trump came in to clear out the Unidentified speaker [00:06:18-00:06:20 (2 sec)] nonsense, clear out a focus [music] on Unidentified speaker [00:06:20-00:06:23 (3 sec)] top-down control, Unidentified speaker [00:06:23-00:06:25 (2 sec)] the science as it was becoming called. Unidentified speaker [00:06:25-00:06:28 (3 sec)] That's not science. Science is human Unidentified speaker [00:06:28-00:06:30 (2 sec)] creativity unleashed. [music] Unidentified speaker [00:06:30-00:06:32 (2 sec)] With the nuclear renaissance launched by Unidentified speaker [00:06:32-00:06:34 (2 sec)] President Trump, we're going to unleash Unidentified speaker [00:06:34-00:06:36 (2 sec)] the boundaries of space. We're going Unidentified speaker [00:06:36-00:06:37 (1 sec)] [music] to learn from the moon, from Unidentified speaker [00:06:37-00:06:40 (3 sec)] Mars, from the satellites of Jupiter and Unidentified speaker [00:06:40-00:06:40 (0 sec)] Saturn. Unidentified speaker [00:06:40-00:06:40 (0 sec)] >> [music] Unidentified speaker [00:06:40-00:06:43 (3 sec)] >> We're going to restore science to its Unidentified speaker [00:06:43-00:06:46 (3 sec)] rightful place, which is untethered, Unidentified speaker [00:06:46-00:06:48 (2 sec)] which is a search for truth. Unidentified speaker [00:06:48-00:06:50 (2 sec)] >> We all work [music] as a team. Unidentified speaker [00:06:50-00:06:53 (3 sec)] Satya, Elon, Sundar, Unidentified speaker [00:06:53-00:06:55 (2 sec)] Isaac, all of us we're all working Unidentified speaker [00:06:55-00:06:58 (3 sec)] [music] as one team. And and the reason Unidentified speaker [00:06:58-00:06:59 (1 sec)] for that is because we're working at Unidentified speaker [00:06:59-00:07:01 (2 sec)] different layers of the stack. Unidentified speaker [00:07:01-00:07:01 (0 sec)] >> [music] Unidentified speaker [00:07:01-00:07:02 (1 sec)] >> You know, we're at the beginning of a Unidentified speaker [00:07:02-00:07:05 (3 sec)] new industrial revolution. Every single Unidentified speaker [00:07:05-00:07:07 (2 sec)] layer of our industry is being Unidentified speaker [00:07:07-00:07:08 (1 sec)] reinvented [music] at the same time. And Unidentified speaker [00:07:08-00:07:10 (2 sec)] now with a foundation for super Unidentified speaker [00:07:10-00:07:13 (3 sec)] intelligence, we now have the ability to Unidentified speaker [00:07:13-00:07:15 (2 sec)] activate a whole different field [music] Unidentified speaker [00:07:15-00:07:17 (2 sec)] all these of sciences and create all Unidentified speaker [00:07:17-00:07:19 (2 sec)] these different new companies. Unidentified speaker [00:07:19-00:07:22 (3 sec)] >> There has never been a better time to Unidentified speaker [00:07:22-00:07:24 (2 sec)] pursue science [music] than today. What Unidentified speaker [00:07:24-00:07:26 (2 sec)] super intelligence has done for the Unidentified speaker [00:07:26-00:07:28 (2 sec)] scientific community is probably one of Unidentified speaker [00:07:28-00:07:29 (1 sec)] the most transformational [music] things Unidentified speaker [00:07:29-00:07:31 (2 sec)] we're ever going to see in discovery. If Unidentified speaker [00:07:31-00:07:33 (2 sec)] working on material science, chemistry, Unidentified speaker [00:07:33-00:07:36 (3 sec)] math, physics, you will be leveraging Unidentified speaker [00:07:36-00:07:38 (2 sec)] super [music] intelligence to drive next Unidentified speaker [00:07:38-00:07:40 (2 sec)] generation discoveries. And the pace and Unidentified speaker [00:07:40-00:07:42 (2 sec)] the velocity of [music] discoveries are Unidentified speaker [00:07:42-00:07:44 (2 sec)] things that we could never even imagine. Unidentified speaker [00:07:44-00:07:45 (1 sec)] So, for every scientist today, [music] Unidentified speaker [00:07:45-00:07:47 (2 sec)] when they're at their lab bench or Unidentified speaker [00:07:47-00:07:48 (1 sec)] they're in their office starting to Unidentified speaker [00:07:48-00:07:50 (2 sec)] pursue something, they have a powerful Unidentified speaker [00:07:50-00:07:52 (2 sec)] tool that they've never had before and Unidentified speaker [00:07:52-00:07:54 (2 sec)] we're making [music] great, great new Unidentified speaker [00:07:54-00:08:01 (7 sec)] discoveries to push America forward.
