Trump: ‘One Rulebook’ on AI will be implemented nationwide by executive order
Trump: US President Donald Trump has declared that his administration would implement a single set of rules for regulating artificial intelligence (AI) nationwide.
The President said that the goal of this directive was to avoid inconsistent, disjointed state-level approvals that would impede the nation’s technical superiority.
Trump emphasized the necessity for a unified national regulatory framework and said that the US must continue to lead the world in artificial intelligence in a social media post on Monday. He cautioned that several state-level regulations controlling AI approvals and development might impede innovation.
“If we want to stay at the top of Al, there must be only one rulebook. At this stage of the competition, we are ahead of EVERY COUNTRY, but if 50 States—many of them dishonest—become engaged in RULES and the APPROVAL PROCESS, that won’t last long. This cannot be questioned! “AI’S INFANCY WILL DESTROY IT!” Trump said.
The President further emphasized the necessity for a simplified approach by announcing that he would release a “ONE RULE Executive Order” this week. “A business cannot expect to get 50 approvals for every project it undertakes. “That’s never going to work,” he said.
The Genesis Mission, a significant national project aiming at boosting AI-powered scientific discovery and bolstering America’s technology leadership globally, was launched in November, just following this drive for uniform regulation.
By creating an integrated AI platform that makes use of the greatest collection of government scientific information in the world, the Genesis Mission aims to usher in a new era of AI-accelerated innovation, according to a White House statement.
“The Genesis Mission will build an integrated AI platform to harness Federal scientific datasets the world’s largest collection of such datasets, developed over decades of Federal investments to train scientific foundation models and create AI agents to test new hypotheses, automate research workflows, and accelerate scientific breakthroughs,” said the statement.
National labs, universities, commercial companies, research infrastructure, data repositories, industrial facilities, and national security facilities will all be part of the initiative’s research and development ecosystem.
Trump has signaled a significant policy move to match legislation with the country’s rapid AI research efforts by announcing a unified standard for AI.
