The initiative seeks to strengthen U.S. technological capacity and economic competitiveness amid growing global rivalry.
President Donald Trump has announced the launch of the “U.S. Tech Force,” a new initiative designed to recruit 1,000 artificial intelligence and technology specialists to work within the federal government, according to administration officials.
President Donald Trump announced the creation of the “U.S. Tech Force,” a federal initiative aimed at recruiting 1,000 experts in artificial intelligence and advanced technology to support government operations. According to the administration, the program is intended to modernize federal agencies and strengthen U.S. economic and technological leadership.
Officials said the initiative will focus on deploying technical talent across key areas, including data systems, cybersecurity, AI development, and digital infrastructure. The program is expected to place specialists within multiple federal departments to improve efficiency and innovation.
The administration framed the effort as part of a broader strategy to accelerate economic growth, citing long-term goals tied to expanding the U.S. economy toward a $40 trillion scale. Officials argue that advanced technology will play a central role in productivity and competitiveness.
Administration officials also pointed to increasing competition with China in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and emerging technologies. They said the U.S. Tech Force is designed to help maintain American leadership in strategic sectors critical to national security and economic stability.
Policy analysts note that governments worldwide are competing for top technical talent, and attracting experts to public-sector roles has historically been a challenge. The success of the program may depend on compensation structures, flexibility, and the ability to integrate private-sector expertise into government systems.
The White House has not yet released full details on recruitment timelines or implementation. Officials said additional information will be announced as the program moves forward.
