WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump welcomed young cancer survivors and their family members into the Oval Office on Sept. 30 while he signed an executive order directing the federal government to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help cure pediatric cancer.
The order also increases investment in the National Institute of Health’s Childhood Cancer Data Initiative, founded by Trump in 2019 during his first term in office, by $50 million annually—thus doubling current funding levels.
