The Trump administration on Wednesday unveiled an outline for its artificial intelligence (AI) policy, promoting US innovation, creating a data center infrastructure and promoting US technology abroad.
28-2-AI action plan fulfills the administration’s approach to rapidly developed technology, carrying forward more than 90 policy functions for “close-performance” by the federal government.
“We believe we are in an AI race,” the White House AI and Crypto Caesar David Sachs told reporters on a call on Wednesday morning. “There is now a global competition to lead Artificial Intelligence, and we want the United States to win that race.”
“AI is a revolutionary technology that has a profound impact for both economy and national security,” he continued. “So, it is very important that the American AI remain the major power.”
The plan tries to remove what the Trump administration considers as “spectacular” rules at both federal and state levels. This involves limiting funds to states on its AI rules, as well as evaluating the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) whether some states AI rules interfere with its mandate.
The Framework also states to review the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation, which was introduced under the Biden administration, “to ensure that they do not further the principles of obligation that reduce AI innovation.”
Michael Cretios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said, “We cannot take the risk of going to the regulatory path of innovation-killing of Europe.”
He said, “Federal agencies will now review their rules on books and cancel those who injure AI development and deployment in financial services and industries from agriculture to health and transport,” he said, they said, they will also look for input from the industry.
The AI Action Plan also directs the Commerce Department to modify the AI risk structure to remove the references of misinformation, climate change and diversity, equity and Inclusion (DEI), and calls for an update for an update for federal procurement guidelines limiting contracts for AI systems “free”
The framework is focused on increasing the development of AI data centers and energy infrastructure separately. It generally wants to provide data centers for the federal environmental rules or with widespread exclusion from permits, in addition to accelerating permission efforts.
It also asks for providing federal land for the construction of data centers and essential power generation infrastructure.
