LOUIS, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) is proud to host its annual Ignite: Peer-to-Peer Leadership Conference, bringing together hundreds of passionate student leaders and hospital advisors from July 17-20 in St. Louis, Missouri. The conference, held at the Marriott St. Louis Grand, is designed to power knowledge, launch fundraising efforts, and deepen the collective commitment to lift this generation up to the next with the future of our Campus Programs in mind. Campus Programs at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals are nationwide fundraising initiatives led by college and high school students, including major programs like Dance Marathon, Greek Life, and other campus organizations. These programs empower students to rally their communities and raise vital funds for their local children's hospitals. Ignite 2025 offered four days of powerful learning and meaningful connections, including educational sessions, networking opportunities, and celebrations of fundraising excellence. Attendees gained valuable insights into peer-to-peer fundraising best practices, learned how to build community, and discovered innovative ways to raise critical funds for local member hospitals.

Trump administration to supercharge AI sales to allies, loosen environmental rules

The Trump administration released a new artificial intelligence blueprint on Wednesday that aims to loosen environmental rules and vastly expand AI exports to allies, in a bid to maintain the American edge over China in the critical technology. President Donald Trump marked the plan's release with a speech where he laid out the stakes of the technological arms race with China, calling it a fight that will define the 21st century. 'America is the country that started the AI race. And as President of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it,' Trump said. The plan, which includes some 90 recommendations, calls for the export of U.S. AI software and hardware abroad as well as a crackdown on state laws deemed too restrictive to let it flourish, a marked departure from predecessor Joe Biden's 'high fence' approach that limited global access to coveted AI chips. 'We also have to have a single federal standard, not 50 different states regulating this industry in the future,' Trump said. Michael Kratsios, head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, told reporters on Wednesday the departments of Commerce and State will partner with the industry to 'deliver secure full-stack AI export packages, including hardware models, software applications and standards to America's friends and allies around the world.' An expansion in exports of a full suite of AI products could benefit AI chip juggernauts Nvidia and AMD as well as AI model giants Alphabet's Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Facebook parent Meta. Trump signed three executive orders on Wednesday that incorporated elements of the action plan, including the loosening of environmental rules, establishing rules for chip exports and seeking to limit political bias in AI technology. Biden feared U.S. adversaries like China could harness AI chips produced by companies like Nvidia and AMD to supercharge its military and harm allies. The former president, who left office in January, imposed a raft of restrictions on U.S. exports of AI chips to China and other countries that it feared could divert the semiconductors to America's top global rival. Trump rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring AI was not used for misinformation. He also rescinded Biden's so-called AI diffusion rule, which capped the amount of American AI computing capacity some countries were allowed to obtain via U.S. AI chip imports. 'Our edge (in AI) is not something that we can sort of rest on our laurels,' Vice President JD Vance said in a separate appearance at the event, which was organized by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and his co-hosts on the 'All-In' podcast. 'If we're regulating ourselves to death and allowing the Chinese to catch up to us, that's not something ... we should blame the Chinese for..., that is something we should blame our own leaders for, for having stupid policies that allow other countries to catch up with America,' Vance said. The AI plan, according to a senior administration official, does not address national security concerns around Nvidia's H20 chip, which powers AI models and was designed to walk right up to the line of prior restrictions on Chinese AI chip access. Trump blocked the export of the H20 to China in April but allowed the company to resume sales earlier this month, sparking rare public criticism from fellow Republicans. FAST-TRACKING DATA CENTERS The plan also calls for fast-tracking the construction of data centers by loosening environmental regulations and utilizing federal land to expedite development of the projects, including any power supplies. The administration will seek to establish new exclusions for data centers under the National Environmental Policy Act and streamline permits under the Clean Water Act. Trump directed his administration in January to develop the plan. Trump is expected to take additional actions in the upcoming weeks that will help Big Tech secure the vast amounts of electricity it needs to power the energy-guzzling data centers needed for the rapid expansion of AI, Reuters previously reported. U.S. power demand is hitting record highs this year after nearly two decades of stagnation as AI and cloud computing data centers balloon in number and size across the country. The export expansion plans take a page from deals unveiled in May that gave the United Arab Emirates expanded access to advanced artificial intelligence chips from the United States after previously facing restrictions over Washington's concerns that China could access the technology. - Reuters
