Trump announces a new artificial intelligence plan aimed at becoming a global leader in AI

US President Donald Trump announced a comprehensive new plan on Wednesday targeting the US's "global dominance" in the field of artificial intelligence, proposing to cut environmental regulations to accelerate the construction of AI supercomputers and promote the sales of American made AI technology domestically and internationally.

Trump signed three executive orders on Wednesday to implement the plan. They are seeking permission to accelerate artificial intelligence construction projects, expand US technology exports, and break free from the "awakening" of artificial intelligence. On his first day in office, Trump revoked President Joe Biden's iconic AI fence and gave his technical advisors six months to develop new AI policies. The plan includes recommendations from some familiar technology lobbying groups. This includes accelerating the sales of artificial intelligence technology abroad and making it easier to build energy consuming data center buildings required to form and operate artificial intelligence products. It also includes the attention of some artificial intelligence culture wars in the venture capital circles that supported Trump last year. Priority should also be given to innovation and adoption of artificial intelligence, urging the elimination of any barriers that may slow down industry and government adoption. Trump said that the US policy will be to "lead the world in the field of artificial intelligence at all costs".

Trump's plan aims to prevent the government from signing contracts with tech companies unless they "ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias." The plan states that America's leading artificial intelligence models should protect freedom of speech and be "built on American values," but it does not define which values these models should include.

The focus of the plan is to reduce regulations, stimulate innovation, and establish unified federal regulatory standards to prevent policy fragmentation. The Trump administration has abolished previous executive orders that encouraged competition and protected consumers, aiming to remove barriers to the development of AI technology companies; By accelerating the approval of large-scale AI infrastructure projects and relaxing environmental protection regulations, it helps enterprises develop data centers and power supply more conveniently, promoting the application of AI technology.

In addition, the White House also pointed out in the report that advanced AI technology should be exported to avoid other countries overly relying on Chinese technology, which is interpreted in contrast to Trump's previous statement that export restrictions have a negative impact on Chinese AI. It can be seen that the United States attaches great importance to the leading trend of China's AI technology development and is not willing to lose its global leading position in AI.

However, the plan has also been questioned and criticized by some people. Some people are concerned that the Trump administration's AI action plan will place too much emphasis on large technology companies and neglect the interests of the general public. Secondly, relaxing environmental regulations may have adverse effects on the environment when developing AI. How to balance the development of AI with environmental protection is an issue that should be given attention.

In addition, in order to avoid the abuse or misuse of AI technology, we also need to strengthen international cooperation and regulatory coordination. AI technology has transcended national borders and industry limitations, becoming a global issue. Governments and businesses around the world need to strengthen communication and collaboration, jointly develop international standards and norms, and ensure the healthy and sustainable development of AI technology.

Trump's new strategy for artificial intelligence is undoubtedly an important guarantee for the United States to take the initiative in the global competition for artificial intelligence. However, we must recognize that the development of artificial intelligence technology is not simply a technical and economic issue, but rather a profound and complex issue concerning society, ethics, and humanity and the world. In promoting the development of artificial intelligence, we must consider and implement issues of fairness, transparency, and security. Only in this way can the sustainability of artificial intelligence technology development be possible, and human society can benefit more from it and go further.

In summary, Trump's new artificial intelligence plan demonstrates a trend in the United States' artificial intelligence strategy, which aims to promote technological development, increase exports, and maintain the United States' dominant position in the world's artificial intelligence competition, while also considering issues such as public rights and environmental protection while maintaining the promotion of technological innovation.
