White House

Congratulations to Adam Cassady on his nomination as Ambassador at Large for Cyberspace and Digital Policy. Adam has been a phenomenal Deputy Administrator at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, providing effective, strategic leadership across spectrum, broadband, digital policy, and commercial space. He has been a tireless champion of America First technology leadership—ensuring the United States strengthens its competitive edge and protects its interests.

President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to ensure America’s leadership in 6G development.

To win, United States Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies must be free to innovate without cumbersome regulation.  But excessive State regulation thwarts this imperative.  First, State-by-State regulation by definition creates a patchwork of 50 different regulatory regimes that makes compliance more challenging, particularly for start-ups.  Second, State laws are increasingly responsible for requiring entities to embed ideological bias within models.

America is in a race for global technology dominance in the development of artificial intelligence (AI), an important frontier of scientific discovery and economic growth. In this pivotal moment, the challenges we face require a historic national effort, comparable in urgency and ambition to the Manhattan Project that was instrumental to our victory in World War II and was a critical basis for the foundation of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its national laboratories.

The Trump administration's five research and development priorities include ensuring American leadership in critical and emerging technologies. These critical and emerging technologies promise to fuel American prosperity, improve quality of life and national security, and create high-paying jobs for American workers:

On September 25, President Trump signed an executive order allowing TikTok to remain active in the US under the requirements of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. President Trump has determined that the divestiture outlined in a proposed framework agreement, in which TikTok’s U.S. application would be operated by a new joint-venture company based in the United States, is a “qualified divestiture.” It will be majority-owned by U.S. investors, operated in the U.S.

In April 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order to create new educational and workforce development opportunities for America’s youth to gain interest and expertise in AI technology from an early age and enable the U.S. to maintain global dominance in the AI revolution. Here are some of the organizations that have committed to providing resources for AI education among America’s youth: 

America has long led the world in innovation, technological advancement, and design.  But with a sprawling ecosystem of digital services offered to Americans, the Government has lagged behind in usability and aesthetics.  There is a high financial cost to maintaining legacy systems, to say nothing of the cost in time lost by the American public trying to navigate them.
