The White House today released “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan”. It follows President Trump’s January executive order on Removing Barriers to American Leadership in AI. Ultimately, winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people.
Three Pillars of America’s AI Action Plan
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
Key policies in the AI Action Plan include:
- Exporting American AI: The Commerce and State Departments will partner with industry on secure, full-stack AI export packages. In addition, these packages include hardware, models, software, applications, and standards for U.S. allies.
- Promoting Rapid Buildout of Data Centers: Expediting and modernizing permits for data centers and semiconductor fabs. The plan also creates national initiatives to grow high-demand jobs like electricians and HVAC technicians.
- Enabling Innovation and Adoption: Removing Federal regulations that hinder AI development and deployment. The plan also seeks private-sector input on which rules to remove.
- Upholding Free Speech in Frontier Models: Updating Federal procurement guidelines for large language models. Likewise, the government will contract only with developers whose systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.
What Leaders Are Saying
In addition, administration leaders described the plan’s goals.
“America’s AI 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. 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,” said White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios.
“Artificial intelligence is a revolutionary technology with the potential to transform the global economy and alter the balance of power in the world. To remain the leading economic and military power, the United States must win the AI race. Recognizing this, President Trump directed us to produce this Action Plan. To win the AI race, the U.S. must lead in innovation, infrastructure, and global partnerships. At the same time, we must center American workers and avoid Orwellian uses of AI. This Action Plan provides a roadmap for doing that,” said AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks.
“Winning the AI Race is non-negotiable. America must continue to be the dominant force in artificial intelligence to promote prosperity and protect our economic and national security. President Trump recognized this at the beginning of his administration and took decisive action by commissioning this AI Action Plan. These clear-cut policy goals set expectations for the Federal Government to ensure America sets the technological gold standard worldwide, and that the world continues to run on American technology,” said Secretary of State and Acting National Security Advisor Marco Rubio.
Why America’s AI Action Plan Matters for Mississippi
National AI policy shapes opportunities in every state. As a result, Mississippi students, workers, and employers can prepare for new AI roles. For example, new federal infrastructure and workforce priorities can reach Mississippi campuses. Similarly, employers may increasingly seek workers with AI skills. Importantly, the Mississippi Artificial Intelligence Network (MAIN) tracks these developments and supports statewide AI education and workforce training.
