The Trump administration on Wednesday laid out the steps it plans to take in a bid for «global AI dominance,» including reducing regulations to speed up the development of artificial intelligence tools and the infrastructure to power them.
Other components of President Trump’s AI Action Plan include steps to encourage open-source and open-weight AI models, ensure AI «protects free speech and American values» and promote the use of AI in the Department of Defense.
«The Action Plan’s objective is to articulate policy recommendations that this Administration can deliver for the American people to achieve the President’s vision of global AI dominance,» the report said.
President Trump is expected to speak on AI priorities later Wednesday during a forum with the hosts of the All-In Podcast.
Ahead of the plan’s release, a coalition of advocacy groups and tech critics urged the administration to ensure the government would hold large tech firms accountable as AI grows.
«We can’t let Big Tech and Big Oil lobbyists write the rules for AI and our economy at the expense of our freedom and equality, workers and families’ well-being, even the air we breathe and the water we drink — all of which are affected by the unrestrained and unaccountable roll-out of AI,» the People’s AI Action Plan coalition said.
This is a developing story.
