Trump AI plan rips the brakes out of the car and gives Big Tech exactly what it wanted
The White House on Wednesday announced its AI Action Plan, unveiling a sweeping anti-regulatory approach that disengages the brakes from AI development and datacenter construction in the US. The plan also promises to clamp down on what it called “ideological bias” in AI models.
The document envisions AI development as a race between those on America’s side and those who aren’t, and frames domestic and foreign policy in that context.
“We need to build and maintain vast AI infrastructure and the energy to power it,” the Plan states says. “To do that, we will continue to reject radical climate dogma and bureaucratic red tape, as the Administration has done since Inauguration Day. Simply put, we need to ‘Build, Baby, Build!’”
