The Trump administration has introduced a new plan to boost artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States.
The proposal outlines three main goals. First, it promotes the use of open-source AI tools across areas like education, medicine, law, defense, manufacturing, and science.
Second, it seeks to bring semiconductor production, needed for AI hardware, back to the US.

Third, the proposal sets guidelines for what AI models can include to support “freedom of speech” in digital systems.
A central part of the plan is the expansion of infrastructure for AI, which calls for building more data centers and streamlining the approval process for them. This would involve changing how these centers are classified under environmental law.
To help power these new facilities, the strategy includes support for alternative energy sources, especially nuclear fission and fusion. The idea is to keep the current energy grid stable while preparing for increased demand from AI-related computing.
Although the plan promotes open-source AI development, it also includes a limit on who can receive government support. Contracts would go only to developers working on so-called “frontier” large language models (LLMs).
Another important part of the plan is a shift in how federal agencies will guide AI content. The Department of Commerce, along with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, will lead efforts to remove references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and climate change from AI guidance.
Meanwhile, the UK government recently signed a deal with OpenAI to explore the use of AI in health, law, defence, and education. What did UK Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle say about it? Read the full story.
