Trump has revealed the administration’s widely expected AI Action Plan On Wednesday, a document that intensified from Biden’s cautious view of the AI’s risks, and instead moved the barrels forward with the plan to build the AI infrastructure, cut red tape for technology companies, national protection and competition with China.

The effects of the flow of these shifts will probably spread throughout different industries and may even be perceived by American average customers. For example, the AI Action Plan downplace the attempt to reduce AI’s possible losses and instead give priority Data center To strengthen the AI industry, even if it means to use federal lands or keep them driven during the critical energy grid.

However, most of its effects will depend on how the AI action plan is implemented and many of these details have not yet been selected. The AI Action Plan is a more sapphire for action than step by step instruction book. However, the direction is clear: the king of progress.

The Trump administration is “It is the only way to introduce the new golden age of human development. Its aim to explain to the American people that it is best to spend billions of dollars in the data center building. It is best for them to spend billions of dollars. Local government is also involved with local governments to create policy advice and work on data centers around the plans.

“In order to protect our future, Trump said,” We must use the full power of American innovation. ” StatementThe “To do this, we will continue to reject the intense climate and bureaucratic red tape as we have done from the inauguration day. Simply put, we need to build ‘building, baby, build!’

The AI Action Plan is composed by the Trump administration technology team and AI experts, many of whom are from Silicon Valley companies. These include Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Critisius, AI and Crypto Jazer David Sacks and Assistant to the President’s Assistant Marco Ruby on National Security. More than 10,000 interested groups have submitted public comments considered for the plan.

Control and bring back the AI suspension

At the beginning of this month, Senate has removed a controversial provision Budget bill from which states will ban Controls AI for 10 yearsThe This provision, if it were included in the bill, would tie the state’s federal broadband fund to the suspension of the funds.

It appears that the matter has not yet been restored, as the AI Action Plan explore a new way to prevent states in AI control. The administration threatens to limit the federal funds of the states on the basis of their AI regulations as part of a “expression of prosperity through control”.

The plan also directed the Federal Communications Commission to “The State AI Rules interfere with its obligations and the authority of the authority to evaluate the power of the agency.” In other words, if State AI regulations touch on radio, TV and the Internet – which many do – the FCC may be involved.

At the federal level, the action plan instructs the Science and Technology Policy Office to ask the business and the public about any current federal rules that prevent the innovation and adoption of AI so that the federal agencies can take appropriate action.

Cut red tapes around the data centers

Trump’s control has been called on how the administration expects to accelerate the creation of AI-related infrastructure, such as Data centerSemiconductor Fabs and Source of Power. The administration argues that existing environmental rules such as NEPA, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act are hindering US need for rapid demand for AI weapons racing.

That’s why Trump’s AI Action Plan emphasizes the Stabilizing American power grid. At the same time, the plan has asked the federal government to look for new ways to ensure that big power customers – such as AI companies – the critical grid can handle their electricity.

Specific organizations, such as Jai and MeetThe weak community has been criticized for concentrating pollution. Critics have accused Jai Bypassing environmental protection and exposing residents on harmful emissions from gas -powered turbines with its memphis data center.

To create classified exceptions on the action plan, to facilitate permit processes, and to expand the use of fast -track programs such as fast -41, to create critical AI infrastructure for companies, especially in federal land, national gardens, federal protected desert as well as military bases in the federal secured desert.

This strategy to return to other Trump themes of beating China is to lock foreign technology and emphasize protection protection for “hostile technology”-like Chinese-made chips and hardware out of the discipline of US supply.

Trump’s fight against ‘biased AI’

One of the main standouts of Trump’s AI Action Plan is to focus on free speech and “American values” protection in some parts by eliminating misinformation from Federal Risk Evaluation Frameworks.

“These systems are essential to the ground in keeping with freedom and expression, and the US government does not interfere with that goal,” is written in the plan. “We must confirm that free speech developed in the AI era and the AI social engineering agenda received by the Federal Government reflects the truth.”

Despite the intention to ensure that government policy does not interfere with freedom of speech, the AI Action Plan is likely to do so exactly.

One of the proposed principal steps is to update the federal collection to ensure that the government contracts with the developers of the border large language model “their systems are intended and free from the top-down ideological bias”. ”

What language is similar to that Report to Wall Street Journal Trump will be in the executive order, which is expected to be released later today.

The problem is that it is hard to achieve purposeful, and the government has not yet defined how the government plans to evaluate the models on the basis of neutrality.

“The only way to be neutral is literal non-gagdan,” told Tech Crunch TechCranch, “CEO of Tech Non-profit Human Intelligence and former US Ambassador to AI Ramman Chowdhury Rumman Chowdhury.

Ethnographic, Jai, Google and Open have secured all government agreements Worth 200 million dollars worth Each AI applications to help integrate in the Defense Department. The impact of Trump’s policy consultation and its upcoming executive orders can be far -reaching.

“For example, an order that says, ‘We will not do any business as an AI model or otherwise, which creates a neutral AI model’ will probably violate the first amendment,” American legal scholar Eugene Bholokh, who is specially amended and the second amendment, said in an email. “An order that says, ‘we will only enter the contract to buy adequate neutral models’ but it can be very difficult to effectively effectively (partially because in this situation is very difficult to know what ‘neutral’ is)”

He also added: “If the order instructs the agencies to select AIS on the basis of accuracy and neutrality, it can be more effective by keeping each agency with some latitude to determine what it means.”

To encourage an open approach to AI

The goal of Trump’s AI Action Plan is to encourage the development and adoption of Open AI models, which are free to download online, which are created with American values in mind. This seems to be the reaction of the rise of open AI models from Chinese AI labs, Dipsc And Alibaba QueenThe

As part of his plan, Trump wants to confirm that startups and researchers working in open models get access to large computing cluster. These resources are expensive, and generally on behalf of technology companies can only hit a million or billions of dollars with cloud suppliers.

Trump also said that he would like to be partner with the top AI model developers to increase access to the research community in personal AI models and data.

American AI companies and companies who have taken an open view with Meta, AI2, and hug face – may benefit from the embrace of Trump’s Open AI.

AI protection and protection

Trump’s AI Action Plan includes some provisions to satisfy the AI protection community. One of these efforts includes launching a federal technical development program to research AI interpretations, AI control system and adverse vision.

Trump’s plan also instructs federal agencies, including the Defense Department and the Department of Energy, to host hacons to test its AI systems for security weakness.

In addition to contributing to Cyberbitatacks, Trump’s plan also acknowledges the risk of AI systems for the development of chemicals and biological weapons. The plan has asked the Frontier AI model developers to evaluate these risks and how they can endanger the national security of America with the federal agencies.

By comparing it with the AI executive order of Biden, Trump’s plan pays less attention to the need for the top AI model developers to report security and security criteria. Many technology companies claim that security and security reports are a “strict” job, which seems to be limited to Trump.

Restrict

Probably surprisingly, Trump is bringing China to the AI race through his action plan. A large part of Trump’s AI Action Plan focuses on preventing “national security” threats from access to advanced AI technology.

Under Trump’s plan, federal agencies will work together to collect detectives on foreign border AI projects that can threaten American national security. In one of these efforts, the Department of Commerce has been given the responsibility of evaluating the Chinese AI models for the Talking Point of the Chinese Communist Party and the censorship.

These groups will also handle the evaluation of the level of AI adoption among American opponents.

National protection

National protection“The AI Action Plan included 23 times – more than the data centers, jobs, science and other main conditions. The national security strategy of the plan is to consolidate AI in US defense and intelligence equipment, and even when creating AI data centers for DOD, while protecting against foreign threats.

Among other issues, the plan calls for regular evaluation of DOD and intelligence communities in the United States how AI adoption compares with rivals like China and adapts accordingly and to evaluate the risk raised by both domestic and opposition AI systems.

The strategy itself in the DOD itself emphasizes the military workforce upsky, automation of workfloses and securing the desired access to calculating resources in national emergency situations.
