Trump Just Dropped His AI Action Plan. Here's What's In It
Other components of President Trump's AI Action Plan include steps to encourage open-source and open-weight AI models, ensure AI "protects free speech and American values" and promote the use of AI in the Department of Defense.
"The Action Plan's objective is to articulate policy recommendations that this Administration can deliver for the American people to achieve the President's vision of global AI dominance," the report said.
President Trump is expected to speak on AI priorities later Wednesday during a forum with the hosts of the All-In Podcast.
Ahead of the plan's release, a coalition of advocacy groups and tech critics urged the administration to ensure the government would hold large tech firms accountable as AI grows.
"We can't let Big Tech and Big Oil lobbyists write the rules for AI and our economy at the expense of our freedom and equality, workers and families' well-being, even the air we breathe and the water we drink -- all of which are affected by the unrestrained and unaccountable roll-out of AI," the People's AI Action Plan coalition said.
This is a developing story.

The president fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday after the agency published a negative jobs report.
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers had choice words for President Donald Trump after he fired his stats boss over an abysmal jobs report. Trump fired Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), on Friday after the agency released its July jobs report showing that the economy added a mere 73,000 jobs—far below the White House forecast of 109,000 jobs. BLS also revised its job numbers down for May and June by 258,000. Trump accused McEntarfer of having 'RIGGED' those numbers 'to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.'

Could Buying a Tesla Still Save Car Owners Money in 2025?
Tesla may have been responsible for ushering in the era of widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption, but it certainly hasn't been resting on its laurels. The company has taken some hits over the year with vehicle sales on the decline. If you factor in the controversial public figure that is the company's CEO, Elon Musk, then you know investing in a Tesla has become a hot button issue. Find Out: For You: Still, Tesla remains a leading name in the EV space, renowned for its performance and strong warranty options. For those interested in making the switch to electric, there's a lot to consider when it comes to whether or not a Tesla can save you money. EV Tax Credits vs. One 'Big Beautiful Bill' Act President Donald Trump signed an executive order to eliminate the federal EV mandate at the beginning of 2025, though some EV tax credits remained in place. However, they now have an expiration date for vehicles purchased after September 30, 2025. This change is due to the recent passage of Trump's tax reform, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which accelerates the end date of this incentive. If you are still privy to the tax credit, here are some key takeaways: For the first half of the credit ($3,750), a new EV needs to meet certain restrictions regarding the vehicle's critical battery minerals. A certain percentage of the minerals need to have been sourced from the U.S. or any country with which the U.S. holds a free trade agreement. The second half of the credit kicks in if a certain percentage of battery components were manufactured or assembled in those same countries. Finally, to be eligible for any credit, any new EV or plug-in hybrid must see final assembly take place in North America. Concerning the Tesla Cybertuck, those who purchase a new model (single- and dual-motor models) can expect the full $7,500 federal tax credit until it expires. All trim packages of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are eligible for the full tax credit as well, as is the all-wheel-drive Tesla Model X. Read More: Tesla's Referral Program Can Help Save Money Per CleanTechnica, those interested in driving away from a Tesla showroom with a brand-new EV could save a bundle by taking advantage of the company's referral program. By utilizing a referral code, buyers can shave $500 off a Tesla Model Y — excluding the Launch Series — or $1,000 off the purchase of a Cybertruck, Model S or Model X. Those interested in the Model 3 can save $2,500 in this fashion. As a bonus, the referrer also receives a $500 credit to spend with the automaker. Save Money on Total Gas or Fuel As TopSpeed detailed, drivers who purchase a 2025 Tesla Model Y long-range rear-wheel drive could save nearly $5,000 on gas over five years. You can also see savings in other models. If you compare the Tesla Model S to the relatively fuel-efficient Toyota Camry, you may find cost savings that a Tesla driver could see. For example, if a Camry were driven 15,000 miles a year with an average gas price of $3.39 per gallon, a driver would spend $1,589 in gas. With a Tesla Model S, a driver would spend only $555 due to the lower electric charge cost of $0.037 per mile. Caitlyn Moorhead contributed to the reporting for this article.
