Trump Set to Unveil Game-Changing AI Policy Framework—Here’s What to Expect

Washington braces as the former president prepares to drop long-awaited artificial intelligence regulations. Could this finally bring order to the Wild West of machine learning—or just another political moonshot?

Breaking down the policy playbook

Insiders suggest the guidelines will focus on three pillars: innovation acceleration, national security safeguards, and—of course—good old American competitiveness. Because nothing says 'future-proof' like framing AI as an arms race with China.

The crypto connection

While details remain scarce, blockchain developers are already salivating at potential synergies. After all, what better way to track AI training data than an immutable ledger? (Just don't ask about the carbon footprint.)

Wall Street's skeptical shrug

Analysts predict the usual cycle: hype-driven stock pumps, followed by reality checks when implementation meets bureaucracy. 'We've seen this movie before with crypto regulation,' quips one hedge fund manager while shorting AI ethics consultancies.

One thing's certain—when Trump talks tech, markets listen. Whether they should is another question entirely.

Trump wants the U.S. to lead in artificial intelligence

The proposal will not focus much on a sweeping vision of the long-term effects of AI, but will be limited to actions of the Executive Office of the President. The policy will be the most significant policy directive in the AI industry, showing the Trump administration’s efforts to position the U.S. as a global hub for artificial intelligence. 

Trump revoked some existing AI policies and directives from the Biden era that limited U.S. AI innovation. The Trump administration has revealed plans to reduce regulatory barriers in the AI industry, while promoting AI adoption and innovation in the country.

The U.S. Senate removed the AI moratorium provision from Trump’s Tax Bill earlier this month through a 99-1 vote. The sweeping tax would have restricted states from regulating AI, but the tech industry is focused on reducing such laws nationwide. The WHITE House Office of Science and Technology Policy will reportedly lead the plan, which will be deployed in a nationwide promotional campaign.

Many believe the proposal WOULD highlight the administration’s goals of supporting infrastructure by simplifying environmental standards in the National Environmental Policy Act. They also revealed that the President would not include guidance on strengthening power grids in the plan.

The proposal would also include security measures to prevent foreign adversaries from accessing the U.S. AI technology by establishing global AI partnerships. It also revealed a collaboration between the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and the Export-Import Bank to advance Trump’s export promotion orders to support global U.S. hardware and software deployment.

Conservatives have condemned the Export-Import Bank, arguing it’s a tool to bail out big corporations. Some argued that the senior White House policy adviser AI and crypto czar, David Sacks, and the senior White House policy adviser on AI, Sriram Krishnan, will spearhead a third executive order that calls for all large language models procured by the government not to be biased. 

The initiative follows Trump’s directive earlier this year to develop a framework that will enhance global AI dominance in the country. The President also awaits signing a flurry of executive orders to establish some of the policies included in the plan.

Trump advances other AI and energy plans

The announcement also champions other efforts by industry players to forge international partnerships in pursuit of advancing in the sector. The administration revealed earlier this year a $500 billion investment collaboration by OpenAI and SoftBank to establish more AI infrastructure in the U.S. Many firms condemned what they saw as a limiting approach to AI under President Joe Biden.

The President also announced earlier this week in the inaugural Pennsylvania energy and innovation summit plans to invest roughly $70 billion to construct more AI data centers in Pennsylvania. Senator Dave McCormick argued that the proposal would boost the local economy, acknowledging that Trump had kept his promise to serve the people of Pittsburgh.
