President Donald Trump on 23 July released a 28-page AI Action Plan that urges the Federal Trade Commission to reassess investigations the administration says could slow artificial-intelligence innovation, a shift that would ease regulatory pressure on Microsoft and other large technology companies. The blueprint outlines more than 90 recommendations, including the creation of federal standards to govern the development and deployment of AI systems, closer monitoring of overseas regulations, and withholding federal funds from states that adopt what the plan deems overly burdensome AI laws. Trump also called for revising U.S. copyright rules so AI developers are not required to pay for every piece of protected content used to train advanced models, describing the approach as a “common-sense application” needed to keep the United States competitive with China. Critics of the plan warn that weaker oversight could erode data-privacy safeguards and reinforce dominant positions in cloud computing.
