Trump's AI Strategy: Unregulated Innovation or Risk?
With more than 90 proposed actions and three presidential decrees, the Trump administration aims to lead the US in the “AI race”.
✅ Deregulation: Reduce environmental and “woke” obligations; redirect federal funds to innovation.
✅ Infrastructure: Fast-track permitting, data center investments, semiconductor manufacturing incentives.
✅ Foreign Policy: Bundle AI technology to world allies; develop a strategy of hegemony against China.
🎯 Also:
Oppose overly restrictive AI regulations in states limiting federal funding.
Redefining federal procurement criteria for “unbiased” AI systems.
Tech companies and industry consider this plan a “one-of-a-kind” opportunity.
However, shortcomings in labor rights, safety, environment and ethical aspects have led to serious criticism.
Will the US really succeed in overtaking China through free market innovation? Or will it pay a long-term price for ignoring civil rights and ethical concerns?
