Tech Guy Wants to Use Federal Land at Alameda Point for AI City, Drafts Sample Executive Order
Briefly

Tech founder James Ingallinera is advocating for an executive order to develop a new city named 'Frontier Valley' on federal land at Alameda Point. He aims to fast-track AI and robotics advancements, arguing that existing regulations hinder progress. The proposal lacks local engagement, prompting Alameda's mayor to express confusion over its sudden emergence. The area is ecologically sensitive, raising environmental concerns, especially with existing federal projects. Ingallinera's vision includes housing, offices, parks, and historical monuments, as he likens it to the Manhattan Project, warning against losing AI leadership to China.
The ambitious proposal for 'Frontier Valley' aims at creating an AI and robotics hub on federal land, raising questions about environmental impact and local governance.
Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft labeled the proposal a 'head-scratcher,' highlighting the lack of communication with local officials and environmental concerns.
