Race Against the AI Machine – Trump Delivers ‘Action Plan’

Speaking at an event hosted by the All-In podcast and the Hill & Valley Forum, President Trump told the audience that his administration will do "whatever it takes" to be the world leader in the latest tech boom. "Today we take historic action to re-assert the future, which belongs to America," Trump said. "America is going to win the AI race. We're going to work hard and we're going to win it."

He also emphasized the need to adopt a single federal regulatory framework, rather than relying on the 50 states, a stance that many Republican lawmakers have criticized. "We can't have a state with standards so high that it is going to hold you up," the president added.

Stopping Woke AI

Remember when Google's Gemini produced AI-generated images of the Founding Fathers and they were black? Remember when ChatGPT made fun of President Trump but not former President Joe Biden or former Vice President Kamala Harris? Remember when ... uh, okay. Never mind. Since the revolution began a few years ago, there have been many examples of artificial intelligence being woke.

Trump wants to stop this trend before it metastasizes into a blue-haired sociology student from Evergreen College sporting a Kamala Harris T-shirt and declaring Barbie as the greatest 21st-century film. In addition to releasing an action plan and delivering a speech, the president signed a series of executive orders targeting "woke" artificial intelligence models.

One executive order mandates that companies receiving federal funding must maintain politically neutral artificial intelligence models and ensure they are free of "ideological dogmas such as DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion]." The executive order notes that the federal government should refrain from regulating the private sector. Still, the directive states that public procurement requires "the obligation not to procure models that sacrifice truthfulness and accuracy to ideological agendas."

The two other orders frame the technology as a geopolitical contest and call for deregulation in AI development.

AI Is the Future

No matter how much consternation the public feels over artificial intelligence, the reality is that it will be the future of the nation and the world, affecting everything from economics to societal trends. Pandora’s Box was opened, and there is no going back. The globe has been given a glimpse of what artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation can do – and now every country wants a piece of the action. Trumponomics 2.0 attempts to place the United States at the forefront of superintelligence.
