Trump plans to remove bureaucracy for Silicon Valley to win at AI
The Trump administration presented its AI action plan on Wednesday, a package of measures of initiatives and political recommendations that aim to establish the United States as a global guide in a technology that is likely to be as influential as the Internet itself.
goals of the action plan
The White House is largely striving to achieve this ambitious goal through deregulation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI)-with a remarkable, Maga-friendly exception to remove political "bias" in AI.
The three pillars of the plan
The plan includes three pillars: the acceleration of innovations, the expansion of the AI infrastructure in the United States and the establishment of American hardware and software as the "standard" platform for AI innovations that are developed worldwide.
In addition, it is recommended that large language models that the federal government procure are "objective and free of ideological bias from above", according to a 28-page plan , which was published by the White House on Wednesday.
a sign against China
This is the latest advance of the Trump administration to expand the AI infrastructure and investments in the United States. It serves as a further indication that it has a high priority for the government to remain leading to China in AI.
"It is a global competition to lead to artificial intelligence," said David Sacks, the AI's Acht of the White House, during a conference circuit with journalists on Wednesday morning. "And we want the United States to win this race. Ki is a revolutionary technology that will have profound effects on the economy and national security. It is therefore very important that America remains the dominant power in the AI."
requirements for the future
The announcement came before Trump is expected to present his AI plans during an event in Washington on Wednesday evening with the title "Winning the Ai Race". The event is organized by the “All-in Podcast”, a show about business and politics that is moderated together with sacks and other leaders from the industry.
The plan includes the removal of what the Trump administration describes as "bureaucratic hurdles" for AI development and is based on recommendations from the private sector as well as academics and civil society organizations, according to the officials of the White House. In addition, a simplified approval process for data centers, semiconductor factories and energy infrastructure is required.
partnerships for the global standard
The government will work with US technology companies to provide “Full Stack Ai Export Packages”-AI models, hardware and software-for ally countries. This should help to make US technology a global standard, which leads to leaders from the Silicon Valley to ensure that the United States remain a AI leader.
criticism and challenges
Some criticized the agenda of the Trump administration and fear that the interests of the technology industry will be prioritized by the safety of AI. Concerns regarding the effects of AI on the workplace or the risk of children have also increased. A coalition of data protection activists, unions and other organizations calls for a People’s action plan to compete against the suggestions of the Trump administration. The signatories include the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Writers Guild of America East and the AI NOW Institute Research Institute.
investments in artificial intelligence
The plan recommends updating the federal government's procurement guidelines so that only large language model developers are under contract, which "ensure that their systems are objective and free of ideological bias". However, experts said that enforcement of such a rule could be challenging because it is unclear what exactly means "bias". This could also slow down the innovation, since technology companies that want to secure state orders will be bound to new guidelines.
On Wednesday, the plan follows a number of investments and announcements in the field of AI and technology by private companies that were made during Trump's second term. On July 15, the President announced an investment of over 90 billion dollars from companies in the technology, energy and financial industry to make Pennsylvania a center for artificial intelligence.
Cooperation between the government and the tech industry
he started his second term with a project for AI infrastructure worth $ 500 billion with the name Stargate , which includes a collaboration between Openai-CEO Sam Altman, Softbank-CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle chair.
Trump has also announced that he wanted to withdraw the export restrictions of bidges for AI chips, and Nvidia recently became the resumption of his H20 Ki-chips to China .
In general, Trump puts pressure on technology giants to expand their US operations in order to bring back US production, to create jobs and to reduce the dependence on China for technology production, although experts are skeptical that these efforts will be successful. He celebrated investments of companies such as Apple and TSMC as political successes, although at least some of these plans may have already been planned regardless of Trump's printing.FAZIT
The cooperation between the technology industry and the White House is not new; It already took place under the bid administration and long before. Nevertheless, leaders of the technology industry are particularly prominently represented by Trump's term of office during the first six months. Tech giants and the White House have come together to pursue a common goal: to surpass China in the field of AI. The Chinese start-up Deepseek has shaken the markets and Silicon Valley this year with its powerful but supposedly favorable R1 model, which caused concern that China could continue to have progressed than expected.
