OBAMA'S REBUKE: Former President Barack Obama’s office issued a rebuke of Trump yesterday over his accusation that his predecessor committed “treason” and rigged the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.

The congressional moratorium initially passed the House of Representatives, but it was largely condemned by Democrats and divisive among some Republicans. Some industry activists believed it would prohibit not just new AI regulation, but data privacy, facial recognition, and other tech-related rules in states like Washington and Colorado.

President Trump is unveiling an “AI Action Plan,” shaped by Silicon Valley tech leaders who supported his campaign.

President Donald Trump’s announcement Wednesday about his plans for artificial intelligence include a push to grow AI adoption in health care and across the federal government by testing it in regulatory free zones.

The White House unveiled its “ AI Action Plan ” Wednesday ahead of a scheduled appearance by the president at an event in Washington, DC. The 28-page document lays out three pillars of US AI policy in the Trump era: accelerating AI innovation, building American AI infrastructure, and leading international diplomacy and security around AI.

The Trump administration's new "AI Action Plan" recommends withholding federal funding from states with "burdensome" AI regulations.

The Trump administration released a new artificial intelligence blueprint on Wednesday that aims to loosen environmental rules and vastly expand AI exports to allies, in a bid to maintain the American edge over China in the critical technology.
