Trump's plan was not welcomed by everyone. JB Branch, Big Tech Accountability Advocate for Public Citizen, in a statement provided to ARS, criticized Trump as giving “Sweetheart deals” to technology companies that would ensure that “electricity accounts would rise to subsidize reduced power for mass AI data.”
Infrastructure needs and energy requirements
Trump's new AI plan tackles infrastructure head-on and explains that “AI is the first digital service in modern life that challenges America to build up much greater energy generation than we have today.” In order to meet this demand, it proposes to streamline the environmental permit for data centers through the new exemptions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), making federal land available for construction and modernizing the energy set – all explicitly “radical climate dogma and bureaucratic hullomp”. “
The document embraces what it calls a “build, baby, build!” Approach – A Trump Campaign Slogan – and promises to restore the production of semiconductors via the Chips program office, although stripped of “external policy requirements”.
In the field of technology, the plan commissioned the trade to revise the AI risk -protection framework of Nist to “eliminate references to wrong information, diversity, fairness and inclusion and climate change”. Federal Purchasing would prefer AI developers whose systems 'objective and free of top-down ideological bias'. The document supports highly open source AI models and calls for the export of American AI technology to allies and blocking opponents labeled by administration such as China.
Security proposals include military data centers and warnings with high security that have advanced AI systems “can provide new national security risks” in cyber attacks and weapons development.
Critics respond with “People's AI Action Plan”
Before the White House unveiled its plan, more than 90 organizations launched a competitive “People's AI Action Plan” on Tuesday and characterized the approach of the Trump administration as “a huge hand -out for the technical industry” that prioritizes company interests above general well -being. The coalition includes trade unions, groups of environmental justice and non -profit organizations for consumer protection.
