President Trump has unveiled his AI Action Plan, designed to solidify US leadership in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. Speaking at an AI summit in Washington, D.C., Trump expressed his desire to rename artificial intelligence, stating he dislikes the term 'artificial' and prefers to call it 'genius'.
The AI Action Plan encompasses over 90 federal policy actions across three key areas: accelerating innovation, building American AI infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. Key policies include exporting American AI technology, promoting the rapid build-out of data centres, and removing federal regulations that hinder AI development. The plan also addresses concerns about ideological bias in AI models and aims to uphold free speech in frontier models.
Trump's strategy includes streamlining permits for data centres and semiconductor fabrication plants to support the energy demands of AI supercomputing. The initiative has garnered praise from tech executives, who see it as a way to accelerate AI development and deployment in the US. The plan also aims to counter what the administration perceives as liberal bias in AI platforms and aligns with broader anti-DEI policies.
