The Trump administration has unveiled a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy designed to secure US technological supremacy while minimizing bureaucratic hurdles. The plan, titled "Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan," focuses on accelerating AI innovation, expanding US AI infrastructure, and establishing American AI hardware and software as global standards.
The plan emphasizes deregulation, AI export promotion, and countering China's AI influence. Key aspects include streamlining permitting for data centers and energy systems necessary to power large-scale AI development, exporting US AI technology, and reinforcing global alliances aligned with US interests.
The plan also emphasizes the importance of "unbiased AI" and directs federal agencies to procure AI models developed in accordance with "Unbiased AI Principles" that prioritize historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, objectivity, and ideological neutrality. Critics argue that this approach could lead to censorship and degrade access to information online.¹
