“Winning the race will be a test of our skills, as it has not existed since the start of the race in space,” he added before the signing of several decrees.
In his speech, Trump emphasized that the race in the Ki area “will require a new spirit of patriotism and national loyalty in Silicon Valley and beyond”. Many leading technology companies would have benefited from freedom in the United States for too long, while they had built factories in China and hired workers in India.
The United States wants to defend its leadership role in the field of AI, especially in view of the growing competition by China. “Just as we have gained the race into space, it is crucial that the United States and their allies will win this race,” says the 25-page action plan published on Wednesday.
“Anyone who has the largest AI ecosystem will set global AI standards and have extensive economic and military advantages,” it continues.
The action plan lists more than 90 suggestions. He aims to “remove bureaucracy and stressful regulations for AI companies”. Shortly after his second term in January, Trump had lifted the requirements of his predecessor Joe Biden. After that, large AI developers such as Openai and Google should pass on their security ratings and other central information to federal authorities. However, bidding requirements were largely based on the voluntary cooperation of the companies.
The action plan also says that AI systems should be “free of ideological bias” and “pursue objective truths”. A high -ranking employee of the White House said that this applies to all companies who wanted to do business with the government. This means that AI should not show any “wokes” views that Trump accuses of his opponents. Taboo would be, for example, statements about social diversity and anti -discrimination programs.
The Trump government wants to accelerate approval procedures for data centers and energy systems according to the action plan. Environmentalists criticize that AI server consume huge amounts of energy. Such concerns should not play a role in the future.
At the end of January, Trump announced a AI infrastructure project called “Stargate” to invest “at least $ 500 billion” (around 427 billion euros). The companies open AI, Oracle and the Japanese Softbank Group are involved.
