“It is a national security imperative for the United States to achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance,” President Donald Trump said in the report. “To secure our future, we must harness the full power of American innovation.”
The Trump administration called for boosting artificial intelligence development in the US by loosening regulations and expanding energy supply for data centers under new guidelines that also urged withholding funds from states that put burdensome rules on the emerging technology.
The so-called AI Action Plan, released by the White House on Wednesday, recommends revamping the permitting process and streamlining environmental standards to speed AI-related infrastructure projects. The blueprint also seeks to make American technology the foundation for AI worldwide while enacting security measures to keep adversaries like China from gaining an edge.
