The White House released its “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan” in accordance with President Trump’s executive order on advancing American leadership in AI development.
“Winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people,” the White House said. Policies listed in the plan include exporting American AI around the world, developing data centers, supporting innovation by removing barriers, and preserving free speech in AI models.
The report explains that an American victory in the AI race will unleash a new “information revolution” and “enable altogether new intellectual achievements: unraveling ancient scrolls once thought unreadable, making breakthroughs in scientific and mathematical theory, and creating new kinds of digital and physical art—a renaissance.”
White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios said the action plan “charts a decisive course to cement U.S. dominance in artificial intelligence.”
“President Trump has prioritized AI as a cornerstone of American innovation, powering a new age of American leadership in science, technology, and global influence,” Kratsios stated. “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. We are moving with urgency to make this vision a reality.”
According to a government AI website linked to the White House’s announcement, the country with the “largest AI ecosystem will set the global standards and reap broad economic and security benefits” amid the race to “achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence.”
“Under President Trump, our Nation will win, ushering in a new Golden Age of innovation, human flourishing, and technological achievement for the American people,” the website states. “America’s AI Action Plan has three policy pillars – Accelerating Innovation, Building AI Infrastructure, and Leading International Diplomacy and Security.”
President Trump’s January executive order on AI directed agencies to “sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.” The order called for AI systems that are “free from ideological bias or engineered social agendas” as to “solidify our position as the global leader in AI and secure a brighter future for all Americans.”
