'The State of the AI Nation'
Good Afternoon,
Fellow Readers and Authors,
I hope all of you had a great week, and you are already enjoying your weekend, wherever you are in this world.
It occurred to me this morning, that there has been little news on the progress of Presidents Trumps AI plans for America of late. The news on the media at the moment seems to have focused on the pandemonium in California.
Whilst Donald Trump remains firm in his commitments regarding immigration, his other intentions involving the reshaping of your great nation appear to have been over shadowed.
Trawling through the Internet as I do on occasions like this, I was pleasantly surprised at the progress that has been going on behind the scenes. In this article I am sharing that update, to keep those interested abreast of the situation.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Plan for America
President Donald Trump's Artificial Intelligence (AI) plan for America, was initiated in January 2025, and it aims to establish the U.S. as a global leader in AI technology.
The cornerstone of this initiative is the $500 billion ‘Stargate’ project, a joint venture involving OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and investment firm MGX. Announced on January 21, 2025, the project plans to invest up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure across the United States by 2029, with an initial $100 billion commitment.
The venture's objectives include building advanced data centres, developing custom AI hardware, and supporting research and workforce development to enhance national AI competitiveness.
In parallel to this commitment, President Trump signed the ‘Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence’ executive order on January 23, 2025. This order revokes existing AI policies that are seen as barriers to U.S. AI innovation, and mandates the creation of an AI Action Plan within 180 days, to sustain and enhance America's global AI dominance.
The administration has also focused on integrating AI into education. In April 2025, President Trump signed the "Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth" executive order, which aims to incorporate AI education into schools and provide training for educators. The directive's primary goals are to teach students and train teachers to use AI to improve educational outcomes.
Progress on these initiatives has been notable. The Department of Energy issued a Request for Information (RFI) on AI infrastructure, announcing 16 potential sites for rapid AI data centre construction, with the goal of initiating construction by the end of 2025 and commencing operations by the end of 2027 through public-private partnerships.
Additionally, the administration has received over 10,000 public comments on its AI Action Plan, reflecting broad public engagement in shaping the nation's AI strategy.
However, the plan has faced criticism and challenges. Some experts argue that the proposed federal pre-emption of state AI regulations could undermine existing protections related to data privacy and facial recognition. Proponents of a federal standard contend that it would prevent a confusing patchwork of state laws and help U.S. companies compete globally, especially against China.
In summary, President Trump's AI plan for America encompasses significant investments in infrastructure, education, and policy reform aimed at positioning the U.S. as a leader in AI technology. While progress has been made, ongoing debates about regulation and oversight continue to shape the trajectory of these initiatives.
Well there you have it, the current ‘State of the AI Nation’ update.
If you are like me with regards to the media, perhaps from time to time you find them frustrating regarding the reporting modus operandi.
There hardly ever appears to be any updates on important topics once they have been delivered, and the press just move on the next topic to feast on. Surely keeping the people of America updated and informed on progress would be a priority. The subject matter is after all going to affect them more than anyone else on the planet.
‘Well that’s all I have to say about it,’ as Forest Gump once said.
Back to my own affairs, and the pending trip to Scotland. I have been committed to remaining in Sussex until next Monday, as my son has arrange a ‘father’s day’ out with him and my grandson on Sunday. I will keep you posted as promised in my next article.
In the meantime, I would like to thank you as always for your support with all of my novels, it is sincerely appreciated.
Stay safe, and keep reading and writing, and most of all, follow your dreams whatever they may be. 😊
Best Wishes
