Description

"America's AI Action Plan", a policy document presented by the White House (Donald J. Trump administration), outlines a comprehensive strategy to ensure the United States achieves and maintains "unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance" in artificial intelligence.

The plan is structured around three core pillars:

• Accelerate AI Innovation: this pillar focuses on removing regulatory barriers ("red tape") to spur private-sector growth. Key actions include rescinding previous regulations, ensuring AI systems protect free speech and "American values" free from ideological bias, encouraging open-source AI, empowering American workers with new skills, and accelerating AI adoption across the government, especially within the Department of Defense.
• Build American AI Infrastructure: the physical requirements for AI dominance. It calls for streamlining the permitting process for data centers, semiconductor manufacturing plants, and energy infrastructure, explicitly rejecting "radical climate dogma". The plan advocates for upgrading the nation's electric grid, restoring domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and bolstering cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.
• Lead in International AI Diplomacy and Security: this pillar outlines a foreign policy and national security approach to AI. It proposes exporting American AI technology to allies, countering Chinese influence in international governance bodies, and strengthening export controls on advanced AI computer chips and semiconductor technology to prevent adversaries from accessing them. The plan also emphasizes evaluating frontier AI models for national security risks, such as biosecurity threats and the potential development of novel weapons.
