President Trump's CTO pushes plan to take U.S. AI abroad

President Trump's chief technology officer is calling for the U.S. to aggressively export its AI tech as the administration prepares to roll out a centerpiece of its AI strategy. The White House is framing AI exports as a way to avoid losing U.S. tech leadership abroad. The administration is expected to request industry proposals for its ambitious new AI exports program early this year. White House Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios will give an update on that program at the upcoming AI Impact Summit in India, per OSTP spokesperson Kristen Eichamer. In some of his first public remarks since being confirmed as CTO, Ethan Klein said it was important to bring American AI technology "across the full stack to partners and allies across the globe."
