El Salvador has the most founder friendly sandbox environment for emerging tech
@nayibbukele
Onstage at #techweeka16z: @gingerlgaetz making the case for El Salvador's AI strategy.
Forward-thinking, pro-innovation frameworks beat fear-driven regulation every single time.

The US government will give your startup up to $1.55M and take 0% equity.
@NSF's America's Seed Fund is open again after Congress reauthorized it in April.
Three tracks:

- Phase II: up to $1.25M to build it
- Fast-Track: up to $1.55M, both phases in one go
Who can apply:
- US-based startups with 500 or fewer employees
- 51%+ owned by US citizens or permanent residents

SF Tech Week 🫡
I'm lucky enough to moderate a lot of interesting tech panels.
This will be my first aboard the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.
If you're in SF next week, join us aboard the USS Hornet.

JUST IN: Pentagon taps Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, & Newt Gingrich to lead "Project Meridian," a new initiative identifying weapons & technologies the U.S. may need in future wars.
What an incredible privilege to moderate the panel on “Leading the AI Revolution: Building Trust, Transparency and a Human-Centered Future”
Grateful to @UNWTO and the government of El Salvador for setting the stage on World Tourism Day 🌎
In El Salvador, you go from idea to live product while others are still debating regulatory frameworks.
- 15-year tax exemption on Al, software & cloud
- Zero capital gains tax
- Duty-free GPUs
-Single-regulator speed (ANIA)
- Bitcoin legal tender + 0% tax on crypto & foreign income
While others debate sovereign Al blueprints, El Salvador is shipping clusters, datasets, and public deployments. @nayibbukele

JUST IN: El Salvador’s AI tutoring pilot in 171 public schools produced reading, math, & science results above the national average & comparable to Germany & Sweden.
The future of global education is here
El Salvador’s pilot program giving students AI laptops just resulted in performance levels rivaling top European nations 🇸🇻
The highly promising results from El Salvador’s first PISA for Schools assessment show what education reform can achieve when student learning is placed at the center—and change reaches the classroom.
What is at stake is more than a score. It is a generation’s future and its prospects in the labor market.
These preliminary findings, drawn from a group of schools, point to a path worth pursuing. The World Bank Group is proud to support El Salvador’s efforts to strengthen education and expand opportunities for generations to come.
More on the assessment:

While the rest of the world endlessly debates AI guidelines, El Salvador just used AI tutors to boost student performance to the level of Germany and Sweden 🔥🔥🔥
Talk is cheap. Action creates results.
“Results in reading, mathematics and science were above the national average and comparable to the average results in Germany and Sweden.”
These are the results of our pilot program, which includes AI tutors and has been running in 171 public schools for just over a year.
It was evaluated by PISA for Schools in June of this year. Since then, it has already expanded to more than 1,000 schools, and within 18 months, it will be in every public school in our country.
In a few years, El Salvador will inspire the world.
Security was just the beginning 🇸🇻
Dyson engineer: What if your toothbrush cost $500, had a jet engine motor, and shamed you every morning?
Dyson trained an AI on 470,000 dental images and put it inside a toothbrush. With a camera. That flosses for you. In real time.
It's called the CameraJet for $499. Launched today.
A 100,000-pixel macro lens sits inside the brush head. It takes 28 images per second while you brush. The AI detects gaps between your teeth and within 100 milliseconds fires a precision jet of mouthrinse directly into the gap.
It's computer vision doing your flossing. While you brush. Automatically.
Only Dyson would look at a toothbrush and think it needs a camera, a machine learning model, and a jet engine.
Hugging face is basically the GitHub of AI. I used it so many times to try out and compare different models via Spaces.
I hope that Nvidia keeps the huggingface.co/spaces feature 🙏
Nvidia has reportedly agreed to buy Hugging Face, the popular open-source AI hub, for $12.9 billion in a move that would let Nvidia both protect its chip empire and jump back into the cloud business.
