The Trump Administration AI Action Plan: Faster, Higher, Stronger

The Trump administration revealed its long awaited AI Action Plan (the plan) today, ordering the federal government to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States and "remove red tape and onerous regulation" while ensuring that AI is free of "ideological bias." The plan's epigraph, signed by President Trump, states "it is a national security imperative for the United States to achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance." Doubling down on the national security, economic, and trade competition contexts, the introduction of the plan, which is titled "Winning the Race," states that "the United States is in a race to achieve global dominance in AI" and calls for the US to win this race "just like we won the space race."
