> Trump's "AI Action Plan" will focus on three core pillars: infrastructure, innovation, and global impact, emphasizing a policy direction of "carrots rather than sticks," primarily promoting AI development through incentives rather than regulation. Written by: Long Yue Source: Wall Street Journal The artificial intelligence policy blueprint of the Trump administration is about to be officially unveiled.

The direction of events is actually not surprising: on one hand, Trump previously made tough statements on Truth Social saying "don't retaliate, if you retaliate, taxes will continue to increase"; if he does not follow through on imposing tariffs on China, it would be difficult for him to save face. On the other hand, the capital market reflects investor concerns about a recession in the U.S. economy, and there are voices in the political arena expressing grievances against Trump (for example, there are proposals in Congress to limit the President's tariff powers), all of which require a response from Trump.
