Trump Unveils Plan to Win AI 'Race' by Stripping Away Regulations
The 28-page strategy, called "Winning the Race: America's AI Action Plan," centers on three "pillars": accelerating AI innovation, building AI infrastructure in the U.S., and establishing the U.S. as a leader in AI globally. It recommends dozens of actions for the federal government to take across those pillars over the next few months, including reducing the number of environmental regulations imposed on data centers and only contracting with AI developers deemed free from "ideological bias." Trump has previously rolled back guardrails that President Biden had put on AI and made efforts to accelerate development of the technology since returning to the White House. Just hours after his inauguration, he rescinded an Executive Order Biden issued in 2023 aimed at establishing safety standards for AI's development and use. Days later, he signed an Executive Order focused on revoking "certain existing AI policies and directives that act as barriers to American AI innovation, clearing a path for the United States to act decisively to retain global leadership in artificial intelligence."
