The AI is already redefining our relationship with technology, but is also redrawing the spheres of power in the world. United States and Europe They say they are committed to their development, but they are doing it from very different places.
The most recognized companies in this area are Americans: Google, Openai, Microsoft, Amazon. Europe has some outstanding startups, such as Mistral or the Spanish Freepik. Now, while the EU cautious applies its ambitious regulation of AIThe United States presents a plan that goes right in the opposite direction.
Washington draws its path: less rules, more speed
He “Ai action plan“Presented by the White House is, above all, a declaration of intentions. More than 90 measures grouped into three pillars – innovation, infrastructure and international leadership – that draw a road map for the United States to win the AI race. The keyword, throughout the document, is speed.
{“videoid”: “x8jpy2b”, “Autoplay”: fals, “title”: “What is behind it like chatgpt, dall-e or midjourney? | artificial intelligence”, “tag”: “Webedia-prod”, “Duration”: “1173”}
The Trump administration not only wants to boost the development of new AI models, wants to do it by eliminating obstacles. Federal agencies will review their own regulations to withdraw those considered “onerous” for innovation. And the export of technology with complete packages – scrub, software, models, applications – designed for strategic allies will be facilitated.
To all that is added an impulse to the infrastructure that had already taken its first steps: Relax permissions for data centers and chips factories, enable federal soil, modernize the electricity grid and form technical labor (electricians, air conditioning technicians, maintenance).
The message is clear: less bureaucracy, more investment, but also more Washington influence.
While Washington Dregula, Brussels regulates
The European Union It was the first great power to raise comprehensive legislation on AIwith the objective of guaranteeing transparency, security and respect for fundamental rights. AI ACT entered into force on August 1, 2024. The prohibitions and literacy obligations in AI began to be applied on February 2, 2025; The rules for general purpose models will do so on August 2, 2025; And the obligations for high -risk systems will arrive on August 2, 2026 (some will extend until 2027).
The regulation is ambitious: it establishes risk categories, it limits uses such as mass facial recognition and demands strict controls for the most advanced models. In addition, it has introduced a code of voluntary practice to advance part of these demands. Goal has publicly refused to sign the documentincluding a series of criticisms of the position that the community block has adopted.
To that rejection are added internal pressures: a group of large European companies – among them Airbus, Lufthansa, Asml, Totalenergies or Mistral–They asked Brussels at the beginning of this pause or simplify the application of the regulation. From the commission, for now, they insist on maintaining the planned calendar.    
Criticism from both sides
Neither the American nor the European strategy are exempt from criticism. Both generate tensions, doubts and warnings from different fronts.
In the United States, the deregulator approach has generated a wave of reproaches. The plan talks about maintaining global technological dominance through deregulation, infrastructure and alliances. For many, That is a clear bias in favor of great technological. JB Branch, by Public Citizen, denounced that the plan It is in practice a favor treatment of Silicon Valley.
More than 90 organizations launched the “People’s ai Action Plan“As a counterpart, accusing the White House of prioritizing corporate interests on social welfare.” The plan is written by and for those who want to use AI about us, not with us, ” They said Sarah Myers West and Amba Kak, from the AI Now Institute.
Europe, meanwhile, deal with its own problems. European startups and multinationals claim more margin to compete without normative ballast United States and China. The balance between promoting innovation and guaranteeing control remains far.
