Matt Wolfe breaks down Trump's AI agenda: Biden's regulations get scrapped, military-focused AI projects ramp up, and open-source development gets pushed by VP JD Vance. Training advanced AI could need nearly double current US electricity production.
Now that Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the United States, here's what that means for the world of AI. Trump announced that he will cancel all of Biden's AI regulations on day one, completely transforming how America develops artificial intelligence. His team is planning what they're calling Manhattan Projects for military AI while stripping away what they describe as unnecessary regulations, all to make America first in AI tech. His VP pick, JD Vance, is pushing for more open source AI development, claiming that current and proposed regulations only benefit massive companies like Google and Microsoft. And with Elon Musk backing Donald Trump, his company XAI could shape the future of AI policy. But they do have a massive challenge ahead of them. Trump says AI development will require nearly double the electricity production than what America is currently producing. The race for AI dominance is about to accelerate like never before. With guardrails off. Innovation unleashed. We're about to find out if that's a brilliant idea or if it's completely terrifying.
