The Rundown: The Trump administration justreleased an AI Action Plan detailing 90+ policy actions to accelerate the country’s dominance in the sector, including details on AI infrastructure, regulation, and export policy shaped by 10K+ public comments.

The details:

• The 28-page plan focuses on three pillars: accelerating innovation, infrastructure, and strengthening diplomacy while removing red tape.
• Outlined actions include building new data centers, repealing legal barriers to AI growth, encouraging open-source AI, and incentivizing the tech’s adoption.
• The plan also includes rooting out “ideological bias” in AI systems through new rules requiring government contractors to ensure their models are “objective.”
• The document called the AI boom an “industrial revolution, an information revolution, and a renaissance—all at once.”
• Critics argue the blueprint was crafted for tech giants and removes public safeguards, failing to serve the needs of everyday people impacted by AI.

Why it matters: The AI policy shift under the new administration is real, with the Trump administration’s Action Plan pushing an all-in growth strategy that aims to use deregulation and massive infrastructure investments to secure the lead over China — even if it means stripping safeguards in the process.
