The Trump administration is set to launch a new AI blueprint, prioritising relaxed regulations to boost the American AI industry amidst growing competition with China. The plan focuses on infrastructure, innovation, and global influence, implemented via directives to federal agencies and partially funded projects. This marks a shift from previous administrations, emphasising incentives over stringent rules.
The strategy includes streamlining permits for data centre construction and promoting the global adoption of U.S. AI technology. It aims to prevent federal AI funding from going to states with restrictive AI laws and encourages open-source AI development. The administration will also facilitate AI technology exports through comprehensive deployment packages and data centre initiatives. Executive orders are expected to target 'woke AI', boost U.S. tech exports, and simplify data centre construction.
Key initiatives involve incorporating AI across the Department of Defence and creating an AI Information Sharing and Analysis Center led by the Department of Homeland Security to oversee AI-linked cybersecurity threats. The National Institute of Standards and Technology would revise its AI Risk Management Framework, prioritising transparency in AI model creation.
