Trump Unveils Sweeping AI Deregulation and Export Plan

President Trump has launched 'America’s AI Action Plan,' which aims to reverse Biden-era AI policies by focusing on deregulation, rapid infrastructure expansion, and reinforcing national security and global U.S. leadership in AI. The plan centers on accelerating AI innovation through increased federal investment and public-private partnerships, expanding infrastructure including data centers and power grids, and shaping international AI standards while promoting U.S. technology exports. It proposes withholding federal funding from states with strict AI regulations to remove industry 'red tape.' Measures are included to require neutrality in federal AI systems and discourage perceived liberal bias in AI models. Trump is expected to sign several executive orders to implement these initiatives, covering export promotion and unbiased AI in federal contracts. While supporters see potential for rapid innovation, critics warn of risks to state rights, privacy, environmental sustainability, and free speech.
