U.S. President Donald Trump is set to unveil his AI Action Plan, focusing on infrastructure, innovation, and global influence. The plan aims to accelerate American AI development by streamlining data center permitting, modernizing the electrical grid, and promoting American AI models worldwide. However, it faces criticism for allegedly prioritizing corporate interests over public safety and for its stance on 'woke' AI. Key points include efforts to combat perceived bias in AI models, address energy needs for data centers, and potentially block state AI laws. The plan has garnered significant input from tech companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta, who seek favorable policies regarding copyright and open AI models.
The AI Action Plan is expected to replace the Biden administration's AI strategy, with Trump repealing Biden's order shortly after his inauguration. Trump's administration has encouraged efforts to accelerate the development and distribution of American AI technology, including supporting data center projects and easing restrictions on AI chip sales. The plan also involves addressing concerns about 'woke' AI, potentially requiring AI companies with federal contracts to ensure neutral and unbiased language in their models.
Despite these efforts, the plan faces opposition from organizations advocating for public interests and raising concerns about the potential consequences of prioritizing corporate interests over safety and security standards.
