Trump Unveils Bold Plan to Integrate AI Into Every Sector

President Trump unveiled a 28-page “AI Action Plan” to boost U.S. leadership by easing regulations and promoting AI adoption. He’ll issue executive orders after an event with tech investor David Sacks, his AI and crypto czar.

Details:

• The plan removes regulations that block AI progress and cuts funding to states with strict rules. It bans mentions of misinformation, diversity, and climate change in federal AI policies, requiring AI to show "objective truth"

• Administration aims to expand AI infrastructure by easing data center rules, boosting the power grid, and easing chip export controls — even after relaxing Nvidia’s sales to China

• It promotes AI use in government and military, pushes quick job retraining, fights deepfakes legally, and invests in biosecurity as AI advances medicine

Sacks, Kratsios, and Rubio say this plan is key to securing America’s safety, economy, and global edge. The administration calls this a crucial moment America must seize or lose.

Create a Custom Voice Using Just a Text Prompt

Want to create a voice tailored to your needs?

ElevenLabs’ Voice Design tool lets you create a custom voice by simply describing it in text. Here’s how the process works:

1. Visit the ElevenLabs website. Sign up if you don’t have an account, or log in if you already do. Click on ‘Voices’ from the left-hand menu.

2. Within the ‘Voices’ section, select ‘My Voices’. Choose ‘Create or Clone a Voice’, then pick ‘Voice Design’.

3. Write a detailed description of your ideal voice — consider age, accent, gender, tone, and style. The more precise your input, the better the match.

4. ElevenLabs will generate three voice samples based on your description. Listen to each, choose the one that aligns best with your needs, and give it a name for later use.

Tip: For help writing a strong description, check out the Voice Design Prompt Guide provided by ElevenLabs.
