# Wired maps the network shaping Trump's AI policy

*2026-07-27 · Source: [WIRED](https://www.wired.com/story/this-is-donald-trumps-ai-brain-trust/)*

A Wired feature profiles the officials and advisers steering the Trump administration's AI policy, describing internal disagreement as "an argument with 10 sides." It arrives amid a flurry of parallel administration AI moves on funding, chip exports, and data centers.

**Why it matters:** Understanding who actually holds influence matters because US AI policy is fragmenting into competing, sometimes conflicting directives from different factions - targeted chip bans, a $5 billion science funding push, EPA rule changes limiting public input on data centers, and a proposed DHS shutdown power over powerful models. This piece maps who's pulling which lever.

**Topics:** policy
