During a summit on artificial intelligence in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump signed 3 regulations to support the improvement of the AI sector in the United States. The fresh government provides, among another things, for simplified procedures related to the construction of infrastructure for data centres and easier export of American AI technologies to abroad markets.
According to a 28-page paper published on Wednesday by the White House, the plan besides recommends that the large language models purchased by the national administration should be nonsubjective and free from pre-imposed ideological prejudices. The regulation is intended to counter the usage of AI to promote, among others, ideology woke in the activities of the government.
Victory in this competition will be a test of our capabilities, specified as has not been since the dawn of the space era. said Trump and added – We request American technology companies to bet on America. We want you to put America first..
Tough fight against China
These actions are part of the ongoing technological race between the United States and China. Trump's administration considers the improvement of artificial intelligence as a key component of this rivalry and seeks to strengthen the U.S. position as a leader in this field.
It's a global competition for leadership in artificial intelligence. said David Sacks, Head of the White home for Artificial Intelligence during a conference with journalists. – Artificial intelligence is simply a revolutionary technology that will have profound consequences for both the economy and national security, which is why it is vital that America continues to be the dominant force in the area of artificial intelligence..
An irresponsible improvement of AI?
Trump's administration's programme met with criticism from any public opinion, which accuses him of putting the interests of large technology companies ahead of safety issues and liable improvement of artificial intelligence. Concerns relate, among others, to the hazard of automation, which can lead to the mass failure of jobs, as well as to the usage of AI in a way that is harmful to children, for example through manipulative algorithms or inappropriate content.
In consequence to these concerns, a coalition of social organisations, trade unions and investigation institutions calls for an alternate strategy – the People's Action Plan – to counter the policies of the administration. The signatories to this appeal include the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Writers Guild of America East and the investigation institute AI Now Institute.
