White House Unveils America’s AI Action Plan

The White House released “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan”, in accordance with President Trump’s January executive order on Removing Barriers to American Leadership in AI. Winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people. The Plan identifies over 90 Federal policy actions across three pillars—Accelerating Innovation, Building American AI Infrastructure, and Leading in International Diplomacy and Security—that the Trump Administration will take in the coming weeks and months. Key policies in the AI Action Plan include:

• Exporting American AI: The Commerce and State Departments will partner with industry to deliver secure, full-stack AI export packages—including hardware, models, software, applications, and standards—to America’s friends and allies around the world.
• Promoting Rapid Buildout of Data Centers: Expediting and modernizing permits for data centers and semiconductor fabs, as well as creating new national initiatives to increase high-demand occupations like electricians and HVAC technicians.
• Enabling Innovation and Adoption: Removing onerous Federal regulations that hinder AI development and deployment, and seek private sector input on rules to remove.
• Upholding Free Speech in Frontier Models: Updating Federal procurement guidelines to ensure that the government only contracts with frontier large language model developers who ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.
