The Trump administration called for boosting artificial intelligence development in the US by loosening regulations and expanding energy supply for data centers under new guidelines that also urged the federal government to withhold funding from states determined to have burdensome regulations on the emerging technology.

For scientific research, which has been significantly cut under Trump, the NSF, DOE, NIST, and other Federal partners should invest in automated cloud-enabled labs. The NSF and DOE are also expected to establish secure compute environments to enable secure AI use cases for controlled access to restricted Federal data.

The White House released an artificial intelligence (AI) policy plan on Wednesday spelling out priorities for the U.S. to achieve "global dominance" in the sector.
