Abstract

This paper focuses on the AI (artificial intelligence) policy of US President Trump and the AI strategies of the Big Tech companies. Starting from the concern about deepfake in 2024 election , this paper further summarizes the highly deregulated policy of AI in Trump's Second Presidency. Based on the method of document analysis, this paper tries to summarize the latest AI policy change through 857 news reports from US and British media. This paper argues five important issues, such as :1.Trump not only created his own social media called Truth Social and share deepfake news on the platform, Trump is also the biggest shareholder in Trump Media & Technology Group which owns Truth Social and benefit directly if his posts drive traffic to the site. As disinformation increased, Meta, Google, OpenAI and Microsoft have scaled back their attempts to label and remove disinformation since 2024 presidential elections. 2. After Biden recognized AI systems should balance between risks of harm and award of human rights, Meta, Google, OpenAI and others asked the new Trump administration to block state AI laws and to declare it is legal for them to use copyrighted material to train their AI models. 3.OpenAI, Google and Meta said they believed they had legal access to copyrighted works like books, films and art for training. 4. The Trump administration has taken steps to eliminate regulations addressing climate change, Trump issued executive orders designed to revive the use of coal in power plants. 5.The United States urgently needs more energy to fuel an artificial intelligence race with China. The Trump administration declared AI is the nation's most valuable weapon to outpace China is developing an AI action plan focused on securing and advancing American AI dominance. The paper finally argues that AI policy has been overly politicized, ignoring that AI technology could be misused to create child sexual abuse material, and AI will displace jobs and leave workers worse off.
