Trump’s AI Action Plan Is a Crusade Against ‘Bias’—and Regulation


The Trump administration’s new AI policy blueprint calls for limited regulation and lots of leeway for Big Tech to grow even bigger.

The report opens by stressing that “AI is far too important to smother in bureaucracy at this early stage, whether at the state or Federal level.” It recommends a series of policies designed to loosen regulations and burdens on the tech companies developing artificial intelligence products, like encouraging the Federal Communications Commission to “evaluate whether state AI regulations interfere with the agency’s ability to carry out its obligations and authorities under the Communications Act of 1934.” This new action plan explicitly seeks to undo efforts undertaken during the Biden Administration, like reviewing all of the Federal Trade Commission investigations it commenced “to ensure that they do not advance theories of liability that unduly burden AI innovation.” Kate Knibbs is a senior writer at WIRED, covering the human side of the generative AI boom and how new tech shapes the arts, entertainment, and media industries.
