President Donald Trump signed three executive orders on artificial intelligence at the White House while critics, including parent groups, labor unions and privacy advocates, argue it benefits big tech companies."Under this administration, our innovation will be unmatched and our capabilities will be unrivaled. And with the help of many people in this room, America's ultimate triumph will be absolutely unstoppable. We will be unstoppable as a nation," President Trump said.The “AI Action Plan” calls for America to establish "global dominance" in the industry by proposing to cut back environmental laws to accelerate the construction of data centers and supercomputers. It also looks to promote the U.S.-made AI technology across the world. The ideas echo many of the ideas supported by tech industry leaders who backed the president's campaign. It comes as new studies highlight the increasing reliance of young people on AI technology, raising concerns about its potential damage. A recent Common Sense Media survey found that about one in three teens report having conversations with AI chatbots that are "as satisfying or more satisfying" than talking with real friends.In Florida, a mother is suing the owner of a popular chatbot, claiming it encouraged her son to commit suicide after he developed a romantic relationship with the application.A recent MIT study showed that frequent use of AI leads to cognitive decline. A majority of Americans across political ideologies believe artificial intelligence should be "strictly regulated," according to a UMass survey.James Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, criticized the White House's approach, saying, "The idea that the White House would suggest that you should just have this completely unregulated environment for A.I. is insane. How did that work for social media?"The White House maintains that regulations and red tape are hindering innovation in the AI sector.The president's plan recommends federal agencies consider a state's AI regulatory climate when making funding decisions, potentially limiting funding if state regulations hinder effectiveness. A similar proposal to block states from passing AI laws for 10 years was defeated in the Senate earlier this month.The president's plan also would bar the federal government from contracting with tech companies unless they “ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.” It also calls for scrubbing a Biden-era framework for evaluating high-risk AI tools of any mention of “misinformation, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and climate change."
