ממשל טראמפ משיק יוזמה טכנולוגית בין-לאומית חדשה

Thousands of American science and math graduates could soon be heading overseas under a new Trump administration initiative. The program, called the Tech Corps, would fall under the Peace Corps. It will deploy up to 5,000 volunteers and advisors over the next five years. The goal is to help partner nations adopt American-made AI tools and steer them away from Chinese alternatives. Officials say it's part of a broader effort to win the global AI race and expand U.S. tech exports. It also reflects a shift in mission for the Peace Corps, which was founded in 1961 during the Cold War, as a goodwill diplomacy effort. The Tech Corps would focus on countries that don't yet have strong AI infrastructure in place. Funding is expected to come from congressional support, corporations, and charity groups, with senior experts helping guide volunteers both on the ground and remotely.
