Trump’s AI plan eases data center rules, strips federal DEI guidelines
The White House on Wednesday released its plan to make the United States a global leader in artificial intelligence research and development.
US President Donald Trump released his plan to make the United States the “world capital” of artificial intelligence (AI) on Wednesday, outlining steps to ease data center regulations, revise federal content standards and prioritize government contracts for select AI developers.
The report, published by the White House, presents a three-pillar plan, with initiatives to encourage open-source AI development for applications across law, healthcare, defense, science, education and manufacturing.
One of the plan’s key policy goals is to “protect freedom of speech” and online expression within AI models. According to the document, the free speech initiative will be led by the Department of Commerce (DOC), which will work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to “eliminate references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and climate change.”
