President Donald Trump’s deregulation policies, pro-energy vision, and tariff strategy are propelling American artificial intelligence toward a Golden Age, and the AI industry is all in. Just months into his second term, President Trump’s trifecta is unshackling innovation, powering AI’s future, and shielding it from foreign threats. Tech leaders aren’t just watching—they’re racing to build an American AI empire under his bold plan.

Trump’s deregulation is a masterstroke—cutting through the bureaucratic gridlock that once stifled American AI innovation. The Biden-era tangle of rules is history—swept away by one of President Trump’s first Executive Orders. At a January White House Event OpenAI’s Sam Altman called the initiative “the most important project of this era,” adding, “we wouldn’t be able to do this without you, Mr. President”—a clear nod to the freer landscape President Trump has created. Startups are riding the wave too, with small AI firms in states like Ohio poised to benefit from what Trump called “the largest AI infrastructure project in history.” Chip giants like TSMC are ramping up U.S. production, unshackled by red tape, to a tune of more than $100 billion—boosting domestic production and making the United States less reliant on semiconductors made in Asia. From coast to coast, the industry’s verdict is clear: Trump’s deregulation is igniting an AI boom.
