AI ON MY MIND
Trump has won the 2024 United States presidential election.
Here are the key aspects of his anticipated AI policy approach:
Trump has pledged to cancel Biden's 2023 AI Executive Order on his first day in office.
His administration is expected to take a "light touch" approach to AI regulation, focusing more on innovation and development rather than strict oversight.
Key Policy Priorities
Innovation Focus
Emphasis on promoting AI development with minimal regulatory barriers
Support for AI startups and increased access to capital
Continuation of the "American AI Initiative" approach from his first term that prioritized federal AI funding
Regulatory Approach
Move toward industry self-regulation rather than government oversight
Likely narrowing of existing regulatory frameworks rather than complete elimination
Potential deferral of major regulatory decisions to Congress
National Security & Trade
Implementation of stricter AI-related export controls on China
Possible new tariffs affecting AI technology imports, including a proposed 10% general tariff and 60% on Chinese products
Focus on maintaining American leadership in AI development
Should be an interesting 4 years.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES
🪧 Inside the Plan to Use AI to Purge Voter Rolls
A concerning plan has emerged where conservative activists are pushing to use AI systems to analyze voter registration data and purge voter rolls ahead of the 2024 election. The initiative, led by groups like the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), aims to use machine learning to flag "suspicious" voter registrations in key battleground states. This effort has raised significant alarms among election security experts who warn about potential voter disenfranchisement.
The AI system would scan voter registration records looking for patterns that could indicate invalid registrations, but experts warn this could lead to legitimate voters being wrongly removed.
Conservative groups are specifically targeting swing states and areas with large minority populations, raising concerns about discriminatory impact.
The technology is being developed without transparency or proper oversight from election officials.
⚪️ White House to launch R&D competition for AI in chip manufacturing
The White House is launching a major AI initiative with $5 billion in funding, focusing on research and development of sustainable semiconductor manufacturing and next-generation technologies. This competition aims to establish up to three "microelectronics commons" hubs across the US, bringing together academic institutions, private companies, and federal research labs. The initiative represents a significant step in America's push to lead in AI technology while promoting sustainable manufacturing practices.
The Department of Defense is spearheading this effort, with plans to announce winners in summer 2024.
Each hub will focus on different aspects of semiconductor development, from design to manufacturing.
The program emphasizes sustainable practices and reducing the environmental impact of chip production.
🇦🇪 Saudis Plan $100 Billion AI Powerhouse to Rival UAE Tech Hub
Saudi Arabia is launching an ambitious $100 billion AI initiative to transform Riyadh into a global tech hub, directly competing with UAE's technological ambitions. The project, backed by the Public Investment Fund, aims to attract major tech companies and establish a significant presence in the AI industry. This massive investment includes plans for a new airline, development of The Line city project, and positioning Saudi as a key player in the global AI landscape..
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is personally overseeing this initiative as part of Saudi's broader Vision 2030 economic transformation plan.
The project involves partnerships with leading tech companies and includes investments in quantum computing and robotics.
This move positions Saudi Arabia in direct competition with UAE's $100 billion Dubai AI initiative.
