READERS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S action plan will find some discussion of the risks - starting on Page 22 of a 23 page report.

It acknowledges that '' the most powerful A.I. systems may pose novel national security risks in the near future in areas such as cyberattacks and the development of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive weapons, as well as novel security vulnerabilities. ''

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE : FEW EXAMPLES more vividly illustrate how the approach to managing perhaps the greatest technological shift in the world since the invention of internal combustion engine or the airplane.

WHEN the Biden administration created an '' A.I. Safety Institute '' two years ago, its charge was to act as a kind of consumer safety commission for artificial intelligence, making sure that the app on your phone :

Would not also make it easier for a terrorist to produce a chemical or biological weapon from easily-acquired ingredients.

President Trump and his aides appear animated by a different threat : '' woke'' A.I.

THEY cite the embarrassing incident last year when Google's A.I. tool Gemini, asked to show a picture of America's founding fathers, portrayed a Black rendition of George Washington and some of his fellow revolutionaries.

Google shut down the tool's image generator amid some mockery, but it became a rallying call for President Trump's MAGA movement and led to demands from the White House that the country's A.I. giants cleanse their code so that answers are not infused with the language of diversity and inclusion of or critical race theory.

So when Mr. Trump issued three executive orders recently to spur what his administration calls '' A.I. dominance,'' and one of them addressed what his A.I. adviser told reporters was '' political bias,'' though it is not clear who -human or bot - will make that judgment.

'' The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the A.I. models,'' Mr. Trump said at a summit on the subject.

The weapons-of-mass-destruction concern, the administration has concluded, is well understood enough that it doesn't require similarly urgent presidential intervention.

Few examples more vividly illustrate how the approach to managing perhaps the greatest technological shift in the world since the invention of the internal combustion engine or the airplane is being dealt with by a new administration.

Anything that would impede the rise of '' American dominance '' of the A.I. market is being tossed aside. Restrictions on new power plants to feed the sprawling farms of A.I. processors are being thrown out; even the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is under pressure to spit out the approval fast.

The data farms themselves, the administration declared, may be built on federal lands, including adjacent to Energy Department laboratories, presumably speeding approvals and routing around not-in-my-backyard delays.

The Commerce Department was instructed to put together packages of an American '' tech stack '' that will give foreign buyers American-developed alternatives to equipment and A.I. models from China's Huawei and DeepSeek.

At the core of the White House plan, though, is a full-speed ahead approach to A.I. that is cast by the White House in the language of the new Cold War.

Speaking in the auditorium in downtown Washington where the NATO treaty was first signed in 1949, Mr. Trump talked about '' a race to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence,'' much the way Harry Truman talked about the need for America to command the technology for nuclear weapons.

Mr. Trump mentioned China sparingly, noting it was adding electric power generation faster than the United States. But he made clear there was no room for two equal A.I. powers.

By most accounts, the U.S. lead in A.I. has shrunk considerably. So the looming question is how much risk the government is willing to tolerate as it plunges into promoting a technology that is prone to hallucinations, that present false information as truth and that cybercriminals the world over are already beginning to exploit.
