Wed Jul 23 20:03:25 UTC 2025: **Trump Administration Unveils Ambitious AI Action Plan to Counter China, Boost US Dominance**

**Washington D.C.** – The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive “America’s AI Action Plan,” outlining a strategy to bolster US leadership in artificial intelligence and counter China’s growing influence in the sector. The 25-page plan, unveiled Wednesday, features 90 policy proposals aimed at increasing AI tools for allies, promoting the construction of new data centers across the US, and streamlining regulations perceived as hindering AI development.

“We believe we’re in an AI race … and we want the United States to win that race,” stated White House AI czar David Sacks.

The plan includes measures to “counter Chinese influence in international governance bodies” and enhance US control over AI technology exports. It also proposes a framework to analyze Chinese-built AI models for alignment with Chinese Communist Party talking points and censorship, while promising to uphold free speech in models intended for organizations doing business with the federal government.

However, the plan is not without its critics. Some experts, like Samir Jain of the Center for Democracy & Technology, argue it is “highly unbalanced,” focusing primarily on promoting the technology while neglecting potential harms. Concerns have also been raised about the plan’s implications for diversity and inclusion efforts in AI, as well as its potential impact on the environment due to the increased energy demands of AI data centers. The administration plans to streamline the permits required for building new data centers and the energy production facilities powering them.

The announcement comes amidst growing concerns about job displacement due to AI, with some companies already attributing layoffs to the technology’s increasing capabilities. Despite these concerns, analysts predict the plan will be beneficial for AI sector investors.

The President is expected to detail key aspects of the plan through a series of executive orders.
