Cities across the United States are making big plans to use AI agents in their daily work this week. Seattle announced a major new plan to put AI tools in city services like housing permits and public safety. The city wants to be a national leader in responsible AI use.

Meanwhile, companies are planning their AI infrastructure much further ahead than before. A new report shows that 79% of businesses are now planning their data center needs more than a year in advance. This is because AI systems need much more power and computing space than regular computer programs.

Data centers are being built rapidly to support these AI systems. New facilities are being developed in Chicago, Atlanta, Texas, and other states. These centers will provide the computing power that AI agents need to work properly.

The United States government is also worried about keeping up with other countries in AI development. Experts say America needs to invest heavily in compute power and energy systems to stay competitive. This includes building better power grids that can handle the huge energy needs of AI systems.

New York City is also trying to attract international AI companies to set up offices there. The city created a special program to help foreign AI businesses get started in America.

All of these developments show that AI is becoming a major part of how cities and businesses plan for the future. The technology is no longer just an experiment - it's becoming essential infrastructure that needs careful planning and big investments.
