The Trump administration said on Wednesday that it planned to take a hands-off approach to regulating artificial intelligence, launching a sweeping effort to put its stamp on the policies governing the fast-growing technology.

The A.I. Action Plan, President Trump’s first comprehensive initiative on the topic, outlines measures to “remove red tape and onerous regulation,” as well as make it easier for companies to build infrastructure to power A.I.

The plan also calls for the government to give federal contracts to companies that “ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.” It said a government agency should revise guidelines for A.I.’s development to remove mentions of diversity, equity and inclusion, climate change and misinformation.

On Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Trump is scheduled to deliver his first major speech on A.I., a technology that experts have said could upend communications, geopolitics and the economy in the coming years. The president is also expected to sign executive orders related to the technology.

Mr. Trump previously warned of China’s potential to outpace American progress on the technology. He has said the federal government needs to support A.I. companies with tax incentives, more foreign investment, and less focus on safety regulations that could hamper progress.

“We believe we’re in an A.I race,” said David Sacks, the White House A.I. and crypto czar, on a call with reporters. “And we want the United States to win that race.”
