President Donald Trump is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at Wednesday's Artificial Intelligence Summit in Washington, and is expected to coincide with the administration's release of the highly anticipated federal plan of action on the technology.
The executive order signed by Trump in late January called for the development of an AI action plan within 180 days, led by David Sacks, a special White House advisor to AI and Crypto.
“The upcoming AI action plan will be AI's most substantial stance from the Trump administration since returning to the office,” said Hodan Omaar, senior policy analyst at Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington think tank, in an email.
Many of the administration's AI priorities have already been telegraphed, including accelerating the infrastructure needed for technology and dealing with energy demand. Management and budget office According to Omaar, the guidance, the White House fact sheet and policy statements suggest that plans to integrate these signals into a more clear policy orientation are expected to integrate these signals into a more clear policy orientation.

“This plan should give businesses much needed clarity about where the federal government is heading, what priorities it will regain, what barriers it is trying to lower, and how it is actively planning to expand the country's AI infrastructure,” she said.
The upcoming talk will be Trump's first major speech on the topic of AI since the start of his second term as president, according to a press release issued by Hill and Valley Forum, a group focusing on bringing together Washington policymakers and Silicon Valley leaders and all podcasts, including all podcasts and hosts.
The President's January 23rd executive order confirmed his administration's commitment to globally solidifying American AI control. He also called for the federal agency chief to consider Biden-era AI policies and regulations and to revoke what could serve as a barrier to innovation in this space.
“One of the themes we saw in this administration really focuses on pro-promoting policies, and less on issues regarding the potential harms of AI,” said Paul Recas, director of Global Public Policy and Government Affairs, the Software & Information Industry Association, in an interview.
Recas said he hopes the administration's plan of action will focus on areas such as AI infrastructure and public-private partnerships.
He said the industry hopes to manage the growing patchwork of AI regulations at the state level.
Earlier this month, at the final stage of passing the so-called big beautiful bill law, the Senate stripped it of a provision banning AI regulation for the next decade.
“I think this will be a conversation that starts to get heated once you understand where the White House is and what is in your plan of action,” Recas said. “We believe that the federal framework is the right approach here. It's very difficult to deal with this type of technology from state to state. Uniformity is really important.”
In a comment submitted to the White House Science and Technology Policy office earlier this year, SIIA said the AI Action Plan “should promote measures to preempt those troublesome and inconsistent.”
In total, more than 10,000 public comments have been submitted to OSTP about the administration's efforts to develop a plan of action, according to the White House.
On the first day of his second term at the White House, Trump abandoned a Biden-era executive order that called for guardrails to address technology risks, including harm to privacy and the possibility of evacuation of workers.
“There is an opinion that there were too many limitations to AI innovation under previous administrations,” Recas said.
However, the Trump administration has not completely circumvented AI regulations. Matthew Ferraro, partner at Crowell & law firm Who is there? It focuses on complex regulatory issues at the intersection of advanced technology, national security and crisis management.
“There was a very clear statement from the White House that AI should not wake up,” he said. FerraroI served previously As a senior advisor to the Department of Homeland Security during the Biden administration on cybersecurity and emerging technology issues.. “It's regulated in a way.”
