The Trump administration has unveiled an ambitious roadmap to develop artificial intelligence, pledging to boost US innovation while stripping away what it calls "bureaucratic red tape" and "ideological bias".

President Donald Trump unveiled an aggressive, low-regulation strategy on Wednesday to boost big tech's race to stay ahead of China on artificial intelligence and cement US dominance in the fast-expanding field.

The AI Action Plan released by the US government on Wednesday recommends easing the way for data centers and other AI infrastructure by reducing regulations.

In general, the action plan is much more focused on removing barriers to AI innovation than safeguarding individuals from AI-caused harm. The word “safety” only appears once in the plan. That’s in sharp contrast to Biden’s AI executive order, in which the word “safety” appeared 25 times.

The Republican-led U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to remove a 10-year federal moratorium on state regulation of artificial intelligence from President Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill.

The set of executive orders promoting the US AI industry were announced shortly after Trump’s AI Action Plan was revealed on Wednesday.

The US Senate has voted nearly unanimously to remove a 10-year moratorium on the enforcement of state artificial intelligence regulations from Republicans’ sweeping domestic policy bill.

The fight over a proposed 10-year federal moratorium on state regulation of artificial intelligence heated up on Wednesday, with Republican and Democratic Senate leaders differing on whether such a measure would be tied to billions of dollars in funding to help states improve broadband infrastructure.
