Trump’s AI plan is a gift to Silicon Valley — with a catch

In this episode of POLITICO Tech, host Steven Overly interviews Neil Chilson, head of AI policy at the Abundance Institute, about President Trump's new AI Action Plan. The plan focuses on deregulation to promote AI development, potentially withholding funds from states with burdensome AI regulations, and contracting only with AI providers free from ideological bias. Chilson discusses the plan's emphasis on infrastructure, streamlining federal regulations, and the balance between federal and state roles in AI policy. He also notes the administration's focus on new energy generation for data centers and semiconductor fabs, while expressing concern over the exclusion of wind and solar energy.
