White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation
1 min read
Summary
The White House has published a plan for maintaining the US’s position as a leader in AI, with the strategy based on deregulation, infrastructure investment, and partnerships.
The plan emphasizes the need for the US to win the race for AI, highlighting the economic and military advantages that come with being the country with the largest AI ecosystem.
The three main areas of focus are innovation, infrastructure, and international diplomacy, with recommendations including revisions to regulations that impede the development and deployment of AI.
Critics have accused the plan of favoring big tech companies and question the premise that more AI development is a good thing.
The plan also reverses a Biden executive order on AI safety measures, instead prioritizing the development of AI without what the administration sees as impediments to progress.
