Trump AI Guidelines Expected to Loosen Rules, Pursue Energy
BloombergFriday, July 18, 2025 at 3:32:27 AM
The Trump administration is gearing up to roll out new AI policy guidelines that would dial back regulations and push for more energy production—specifically to power data centers. The move also includes a nudge to Congress to pass federal laws that could override state-level AI oversight, signaling a hands-off approach to the fast-growing tech sector.
Editor’s Note: AI is evolving at breakneck speed, and how the government chooses to regulate it—or not—could shape everything from innovation to energy use. Looser rules might spur tech development but could also sideline concerns about ethics, safety, or environmental impact. The emphasis on energy hints at the massive power demands of AI infrastructure, which could become a bigger political flashpoint. Whether this approach helps or hurts depends on who you ask—tech companies might cheer, while critics could see it as a risky gamble.
