Trump allies draft AI order to launch ‘Manhattan Projects’ for defense

Former president Donald Trump’s allies are drafting a sweeping AI executive order that would launch a series of “Manhattan Projects” to develop military technology and immediately review “unnecessary and burdensome regulations” — signaling how a potential second Trump administration may pursue AI policies favorable to Silicon Valley investors and companies.

The framework would also create “industry-led” agencies to evaluate AI models and secure systems from foreign adversaries, according to a copy of the document viewed exclusively by The Washington Post. The framework — which includes a section titled “Make America First in AI” — presents a markedly different strategy for the booming sector than that of the Biden administration, which last year issued a sweeping executive order that leverages emergency powers to subject the next generation of AI systems to safety testing.

Employees from the America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit led by Trump’s former chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow and other ex-Trump officials, have been involved in the effort, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private plans.

...

“We will repeal Joe Biden’s dangerous Executive Order that hinders AI Innovation, and imposes Radical Leftwing ideas on the development of this technology,” the GOP platform says. “In its place, Republicans support AI Development rooted in Free Speech and Human Flourishing.”

Actually, he has to multitask.

This AI order isn't being drafted by his campaign staff, but by people who will be his advisers on this subject.

And, as you know, future policies are issues that can be used in the campaign. Many people from Silicon Valley are getting on the Trump train because of policies and programs such as this.

I’m cautious here... this could be paralleling the 2025 Project narrative, falsely pinned to DJT.

The promises for all the Big Tech donations, I imagine.

Bargains for the Silicon Valley titans.

AI already seems too smart as it is. What is this going to lead to?

You betcha. But in an unexpected way.

The AI Manhattan Project will honor people who have been hired and promoted because of DEI by giving them top spots on its list of those people who will be the first to be replaced by AI.

I don't know where AI is going to lead, but I think we can safely assume that some jobs WON'T be replaced in the near future. Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, craftsmen, builders, repairmen, HVAC specialists, etc., are going to be among the most highly paid people in the world.

If my plumber becomes a billionaire, it wouldn't surprise me. As far as I'm concerned, he's worth every dollar.

Project 2025 narrative is pure B.S. imagine if the media took all left lwaning think tanks and decided that all of their policies were the Harris agenda. They’ll never do that (even if true)
