What you may have missed about Trump’s AI Action Plan
1 min read
Summary
Trump’s ambitious AI vision for the future of America includes everything from ending ‘woke’ AI models to crushing competition with China and igniting the data centre boom.
Whilst the White House’s AI Action Plan for this is somewhat limited, it does offer some insight into the administration’s AI plans.
Deeper investigation of the plan reveals Trump’s desire to fight his battle with the FTC, overhaul its actions and even repeal some entirely; a move that will weaken a major AI watchdog.
There is also a large amount of optimism about AI’s role in scientific discovery, with the plan hoping to put more funding into this area.
There are, however, some concerns over the clarity of Trump’s messaging around ‘deepfakes’ and his use of a fake AI video only days before releasing this plan.
