President Donald Trump published his administration's AI Action Plan on Wednesday. Though much of the reporting following the announcement of the 28-page plan focuses on its accompanying executive order on "woke AI," the more important aspect of the plan is how it removes regulatory barriers to foster a friendly environment for American AI innovation.
The AI Action Plan is the product of Trump's January executive order calling for the removal of barriers to American leadership in AI. The plan begins with Trump taking AI seriously, referring to it as a transformative technology akin to space flight that has the "potential to reshape the global balance of power" and describes the AI revolution as "an industrial revolution, an information revolution, and a renaissance—all at once."
The plan presents three pillars to maintain America's "unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance": accelerate AI innovation; build American AI infrastructure; and lead in international AI diplomacy and security.
