Trump to unveil AI executive orders in lead-up to sweeping action plan

President Donald Trump plans to sign three AI-focused executive orders in the runup to the release of the administration’s sweeping AI Action Plan anticipated Wednesday, according to multiple people familiar with the matter and outlining documents obtained by Nextgov/FCW.

The orders are expected to be signed either on Tuesday or before the White House’s AI Action Plan event kicks off on Wednesday, said the people, who requested anonymity to candidly discuss details of the plans. Each order focuses on one of three aspects of artificial intelligence regulation and policy that the administration has prioritized: spearheading AI-ready infrastructure; establishing and promoting a U.S. technology export regime; and ensuring large language models are not generating “woke” or otherwise biased information. 

Each order builds off established Trump administration policy in each of their specific arenas. The AI Infrastructure directive, for instance, would address energy and permitting issues associated with data centers and the computational demands of running AI applications. It stipulates the Department of Energy issue requests for proposals for new data centers at three Department of Energy sites.
