In a significant move on July 23, 2025, President Donald Trump unveiled "Winning the Race: America's AI Action Plan," a comprehensive strategy aimed at positioning the United States as a global leader in artificial intelligence. The 28-page document outlines efforts to scale back regulations, with the intent of accelerating AI innovation and constructing national AI infrastructure. Proposed actions include reducing environmental regulations on data centers and limiting government AI contracts to developers deemed free of "ideological bias." This initiative marks a departure from previous AI-related directives and emphasizes a more pro-innovation agenda.
The plan also includes the restructuring of the Biden-era AI Safety Institute into the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation, signaling a shift towards fostering technological advancement. Additionally, President Trump is expected to further promote his AI vision in a speech at the White House AI Summit and by signing related executive orders later in the day. This strategic move reflects the administration's commitment to advancing AI technologies while addressing concerns about ideological biases in AI development.
