Launch of Trump AI promotion program underwhelms
The Trump administration's American AI Exports Program, aimed at promoting U.S. AI technology globally, received only 78 applications in its first round, far below officials' expectations. Industry skepticism about government incentives and concerns over restrictive policies, such as forcing Anthropic to limit foreign access to its models, have undermined the initiative's effectiveness as China's AI firms gain traction in developing markets.
