The White House published on Wednesday such a long -awaited time Artificial intelligence action plan This called for the removal of regulations that could hinder innovation in the emerging space, among other steps.
The plan, which comes from a January executive orderIt states that AI -related federal financing should not be directed to states with heavy AI regulations “to waste these funds.” At the same time, the federal government should avoid interfering with the rights of states to pass “cautious laws that are not restrictive to innovation”, according to the document.
“To maintain global leadership in the AI, the private sector of America must be not recorded by the red bureaucratic tape,” the White House said.
The announcement comes as AI rules and legislative proposals accumulate rapidly among states, creating a complex regulatory environment for companies and their financial leaders.
“Ai is too important to drown bureaucracy in this first phase, either at the state or federal level,” says the Pla de la Casa Blanca.
Earlier this month, during the final stages of the so -called Big Beautiful Bill Act, the The Senate undressed a disposition This would have imposed a moratorium on the regulation of the AI of the State. This action followed a failed effort from the President of the Senate Commerce, Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to advance the language of Commitment.
Paul Lekas, responsible for the World Public Policy of the Software & Information Industry Association, said that it is too early to evaluate the potential impact of the administration’s call to reduce the “red tape” regulating the AI at the state level.
)We do not have the details of how federal agencies are going to unite chains for discretionary financing related to the IA, so we will have to take a look close“, Lekas said in an interview.
“At a short action in Congress, there are limited things that the executive branch can do to directly encourage states to change their laws or priorities of application,” he added. “What I really see as the most significant in this plan is the way in which it establishes an ecosystem for AI innovation in many domains, almost a society effort.”
Trump urges federal standard
Hours after the White House released its plan, President Donald Trump requested a federal standard of the AI that he “replaced all states”.
“If you operate under 50 sets of different state law, the most restrictive state of all will be what regulates,” the President said at a Washington AI summit.
The Executive Order of January 23 by Trump requested the development of an AI action plan within 180 days directed by David Sacks, a special advisor to the White House for Ia and Crypto, among other administration officials.
The plan announced on Wednesday identifies more than 90 federal policy actions through three pillars: Innovation, International International Infrastructure and International Diplomacy and Security, which the Administration plans to carry out in the coming weeks and months, according to a statement from the White House.
“To remain the main economic and military power, the United States must win the AI race,” Sacks said in a statement.
The Plan calls on the White House Science and Technology Office to launch a public information request on current federal regulations that hinder the innovation and adoption of the AI and work with North -American agencies to take appropriate actions.
The White House took advantage of shadow to coordinate an effort to “identify, review or repeal the regulations, rules, memories, administrative orders, orientation documents, policy states and intergenci agreements that unnecessarily hinder the development or deployment of AI”.
Shado will also work with federal agencies that have discretionary financing programs related to the IA to ensure that they consider a regulatory climate of the AI of a state when it comes to making funding decisions.
In addition, the Federal Communication Commission will evaluate whether the state regulations of the IA interfere with the agency’s capacity to carry out its obligations under the Communication Law. In addition, the Plan requests a review of all the investigations of the Federal Commerce Commission that began by virtue of the previous administration to ensure that the theories of liability that “improperly charge the IA innovation” do not carry out. “
Other areas of the plan ask:
- Update the federal recruitment guidelines to ensure that the Government only hires “developers of large border models that ensure that their systems are objective and free of ideological bias from top to bottom”;
- Expedition and modernization of permits for data centers; and
- It advocates international AI governance approaches “that promote innovation, reflect North -American values and against authoritarian influence.”
Mixed reaction
The plan was recognized by industry groups, including the United States Chamber of Commerce.
“ This future plan takes measures to accelerate innovation by setting a regulatory landscape affected by conflicting laws at the state level, and overcoming activists, streamlining the permanence of AI critical infrastructure, ensuring the reliable and affordable energy for consumers and companies, and advancing the United States leadership in Ai Diplomacy, ” said Neil Bradley, President and the head of politics.
In a statement issued by SIIA, Lekas said that the plan “represents a significant strategy” for promoting AI innovation.
“This plan provides the roadmap to cease the United States as a world leader by supporting innovation and security, strengthening the competitiveness of the United States and ensuring that the benefits of AI are widely shared,” he said in a statement.
He said that his group, among whose members include Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta, was especially encouraged to the Focus of the Plan on the development of work force and the literacy of AI as basic elements of the AI infrastructure component.
But the plan also caused criticism. JB Branch, “Big Tech Accountabocation lawyer” at Public Citizen, a Washington -based consumer defense group, said that the plan provides “love offers” to technology giants.
“This is not leadership, it is a sale,” he said in a statement. “North -Americans deserve a future and rooted in security, equity and accountability, not a file for billionaires.”
The plan was also criticized by the American Union of Civil Freedoms.
“President Trump’s attempt to restrict the regulations of state AI is not only harmful, but also raises severe legal issues, as the President acts beyond any Statute approved by Congress,” said ACLU Higher policy Minister Cody Venzke in a statement.
“Congress has overwhelmed this approach overwhelmingly, eliminating it from a major bill in a 99-1 Senate vote and 17 Republican governors publicly opposed it. The administration is now advancing unilaterally.
