Everyone's a loser in Trump's AI Action Plan

The article discusses the Trump administration's AI Action Plan, which aims to prevent states from regulating AI systems. The plan signals that the administration will order federal agencies to only award AI-related funding to states without "burdensome" AI regulations, creating regulatory uncertainty for states and tech companies. The plan also seeks to empower the FCC to evaluate whether state AI regulations interfere with its authority, which could transform the FCC's role. Additionally, the president has signed an executive order limiting federal agencies to only obtaining "truth-seeking" and ideologically neutral AI systems, which experts argue is an impossible task and may lead to the inclusion of the administration's own ideological bias. The article suggests that the plan is likely illegal, but the administration's history of flouting the law raises concerns about its potential implementation.
