White House Launches America’s AI Action Plan to Strengthen US Dominance in Artificial Intelligence

The White House on Wednesday issued “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan,” a national agenda designed to cement America’s leadership in artificial intelligence. The plan, developed in response to President Trump’s January executive order, aims to facilitate the export of American artificial intelligence technologies through partnerships between Commerce and the State Department, expedite permits for semiconductor facilities and data centers, remove federal regulations that block AI development, and update procurement guidelines for large language models.

The administration sees AI as a strategic advantage, not just in technology but also in shaping global influence. AI leadership is framed as the key to maintaining US supremacy in the economic, military, and diplomatic arenas, according to Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “This plan galvanizes Federal efforts to turbocharge our innovation capacity, build cutting-edge infrastructure, and lead globally, ensuring that American workers and families thrive in the AI era,” he noted.

The administration also unveiled today a new website dedicated to tracking progress on the AI Action Plan. David Sacks, the White House’s AI and Crypto Czar, emphasized the need for leadership in innovation, infrastructure, and partnerships, while ensuring protections for American workers and preventing dystopian uses of AI. Artificial intelligence is a revolutionary technology with the potential to transform the global economy and alter the balance of power in the world,” said Sacks in a statement. “To remain the leading economic and military power, the United States must win the AI race.”

“To win the AI race, the US must lead in innovation, infrastructure, and global partnerships. At the same time, we must center American workers and avoid Orwellian uses of AI,” he added. President Trump’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, led by David Sacks, is expected to soon unveil a sweeping regulatory framework for digital assets, following a July 22 deadline to submit the plan to the White House. Mandated by a January executive order, the framework is expected to address market oversight, consumer protection, and the detailed plan for the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve.
