July 23rd – The Trump administration is scheduled to release a new artificial intelligence blueprint on Wednesday. It aims to ease US rules governing the industry at the heart of the technical arms race between the US and China's economic rivals.
President Donald Trump marked the release of the plan in a speech outlining the importance of winning AI races, which is considered a critical feature of 21st century geopolitics, with both China and the US investing heavily in the industry to ensure economic and military advantages.
The plan calls for international exports of US AI technology and cracking down on state laws that are deemed too restrictive to prosper, according to a summary seen by Reuters.
Chief administrative staff, including Secretary Marco Rubio and White House national economic advisor Kevin Hassett, will be taking part in an event entitled “AI Race Winning” and “All-in” podcasts, hosted by White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks.
According to two sources familiar with the plan, Trump can incorporate some of the plan's recommendations into executive orders signed prior to his speech. Trump in January directed his administration to develop a plan.
The event will be held by The Hill and Valley Forum. This is an unofficial dinner club that helped drive Trump's campaign and sketched the AI policy roadmap long before he was elected.
Trump is expected to take additional steps in the coming weeks that will help Big Tech secure the enormous amount of electricity needed to bolster the energy-induced data centers needed for the rapid expansion of AI, Reuters previously reported.
U.S. electricity demand has hit record highs this year after nearly 20 years of stagnation, as AI and cloud computing data centers focus on balloons of numbers and sizes across the country.
The new AI plan prohibits federal AI funds from being handed over to states with strict AI rules and asks the Federal Communications Commission to assess whether state laws conflict with its duties.
The Trump administration also promotes open source and open weight AI development, “exporting American AI technology through a full stack deployment package and promoting data center initiatives led by the Commerce Department.
Trump is focusing on lasers on removing barriers to AI expansion, in stark contrast to Biden, who fears that our enemies like China fear companies like NVIDIA and AMD will overcharge their military and harmful allies.
Biden, who took office in January, feared that he could impose many restrictions on US exports of AI chips to China and other countries, and could divert semiconductors to America's top global rivals.
Trump has rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring that AI is not used for misinformation. He also retracted Biden's so-called AI spreading rules. This limited the amount of American AI computing capabilities that some countries were allowed to acquire via US AI chip imports.
In May, Trump announced a deal with the United Arab Emirates that expanded access to advanced artificial intelligence chips to the Gulf state after facing Washington's concerns that China could access technology.
