President Trump plans to issue executive orders to boost the US AI industry and compete with China. The orders aim to enhance America's global AI dominance by directing his advisors to develop an AI action plan that focuses on reducing regulatory barriers and promoting rapid growth.
To support AI expansion, the administration plans to make it easier to connect power-generating projects to the grid and provide federal land for data centers. This move is expected to create over 100,000 jobs across the US. The government may also create a national Clean Water Act permit, eliminating the need for state-by-state permits and facilitating the development of data centers.
The Stargate project, a multi-billion dollar effort led by top tech companies, aims to build data and electricity generation centers in the US to support AI innovation. Trump's approach to AI development prioritizes domestic investment, energy production, and reducing regulatory hurdles.
His administration has already repealed Biden's AI executive order, which focused on safe and secure AI development, and is charting a new deregulatory path for AI policy. By taking a more hands-off approach, Trump hopes to unleash the full potential of AI in the US and maintain its competitive edge in the global tech landscape.
