The Rundown: The Trump administration justreleased an AI Action Plan detailing 90+ policy actions to accelerate the country’s dominance in the sector, including details on AI infrastructure, regulation, and export policy shaped by 10K+ public comments.
The details:
The 28-page plan focuses on three pillars: accelerating innovation, infrastructure, and strengthening diplomacy while removing red tape.
Outlined actions include building new data centers, repealing legal barriers to AI growth, encouraging open-source AI, and incentivizing the tech’s adoption.
The plan also includes rooting out “ideological bias” in AI systems through new rules requiring government contractors to ensure their models are “objective.”
The document called the AI boom an “industrial revolution, an information revolution, and a renaissance—all at once.”
Critics argue the blueprint was crafted for tech giants and removes public safeguards, failing to serve the needs of everyday people impacted by AI.
Why it matters: The AI policy shift under the new administration is real, with the Trump administration’s Action Plan pushing an all-in growth strategy that aims to use deregulation and massive infrastructure investments to secure the lead over China — even if it means stripping safeguards in the process.
