The President's long-awaited plan outlines dozens of steps aimed at establishing U.S. dominance in the technology.

President Trump is unveiling an “AI Action Plan,” shaped by Silicon Valley tech leaders who supported his campaign.

Microsoft Corp. stands to gain from new White House AI guidelines that call on the US Federal Trade Commission to show more restraint in probes involving artificial intelligence and stand down on cases that put “AI innovation” at risk.

White House “AI czar” David Sacks has stressed the need for the United States to win the new “AI race,” waged primarily against China. Trump’s allies plan to boost U.S. artificial-intelligence development and innovation through weakened regulations.

The Trump administration released a new artificial intelligence blueprint on Wednesday that aims to loosen environmental rules and vastly expand AI exports to allies, in a bid to maintain the American edge over China in the critical technology.

The congressional moratorium initially passed the House of Representatives, but it was largely condemned by Democrats and divisive among some Republicans. Some industry activists believed it would prohibit not just new AI regulation, but data privacy, facial recognition, and other tech-related rules in states like Washington and Colorado.

The Trump administration's new "AI Action Plan" recommends withholding federal funding from states with "burdensome" AI regulations.
