The article discusses the negative impact of President Donald Trump’s cost-cutting measures on the U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Despite the release of an “AI Action Plan” aimed at maintaining a competitive edge against China, experts warn that lack of federal research funding undermines its potential effectiveness. Federal support has been crucial for significant AI projects, and cuts to science research could hinder advancements in AI, especially as talent migrates from academia to tech companies like those in Silicon Valley.
