President Donald Trump is expected to announce policy guidelines for artificial intelligence that will call for easing regulation and expanding energy sources for data centers, while urging Congress to consider federal legislation to preempt state oversight of the emerging technology. The administration’s so-called AI Action Plan is set to be published in the coming days, following a directive this year to formulate a comprehensive framework outlining key initiatives designed to accelerate development in the US. Trump is expected to sign several executive orders to enact some of the policies outlined in the plan, according to people who were briefed by administration officials. The proposal will be largely focused on messaging and limited to executive branch actions instead of a sweeping vision of the long-term effects of AI, the people said. Yet it will be the administration’s most significant policy announcement to date on the technology and reflects the administration’s efforts to promote the adoption of US artificial intelligence globally. The vision bodes well for industry players who support safety standards and the forging of international partnerships.
