Kurt'CyberGuy' Knutsson on President-elect Trump's plan to deregulate cryptocurrency and A.I. in his second administration. OpenAI has assembled a "blueprint" for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure that the company hopes will be considered by the incoming Trump administration and Congress – suggesting that the plan will help the United States maintain its lead in the field over competitors like China. The company's Vice President of Global Affairs, Chris Lehane, announced the "Infrastructure Blueprint for the U.S." on Wednesday during an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The company says AI's potential presents an "unmissable opportunity to revitalize the American Dream and reindustrialize the US." "Investments to extend the current U.S. lead in AI will yield tens of thousands of skilled-trade and other jobs, growth in productivity and GDP; a modernized grid including power generated by nuclear energy; a state-of-the-art network of semiconductor manufacturing facilities; and a new generation of AI-powered businesses and entrepreneurship," OpenAI claims.
