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.
