Expert discusses implications of administration’s plans for AI

President Donald Trump intends to reveal an artificial intelligence action plan to keep the United States at the forefront of AI development. To this end, the president is expected to sign three new decrees concerning the development of the data center, financial resources and political prejudices received.

Virginia Tech Cayers’s communications expert, paid to legal issues surrounding AI, sharing an analysis of the AI strategy of the Trump administration and its objectives.

What could AI investment from the Trump administration look like?

The recent visit of the president in Pennsylvania, where he underlined the investments of $ 92 billion in companies to promote the initiatives of AI in the State, shows how the administration is positioning itself alongside technology to make the United States the world leader in artificial intelligence. These investments, including infrastructure such as hydroelectric dams and data centers, underline the political and commercial challenges perceived of global AI competition between the United States and China.

Part of the action plan suggests political objectives?

The Trump administration has merged the AI development policy with other political problems, in particular on the political prejudices perceived. Some media have indicated that the administration will publish an executive decree requiring that the results of the AI of federal AI entrepreneurs remain politically neutral and do not produce results which can be perceived as promoting political views or engaging in “awakened” perspectives. Although controversial, this order conforms to the position that the administration has taken on the questions of political bias on the left within technology and the media.

What effects could this order have on the development of technology?

This will probably change how an AI is developed, which raises questions about how AI systems can guarantee certain types of biased outputs will not be produced. This will also have a direct impact on the type of output generated for users of AI platforms who receive federal contracts. He also emphasizes how chatbots and exit from artificial intelligence are not considered an apolitical technology but are rather considered as systems that are increasingly examined for their own intentional or involuntary political perspectives.
