America's AI Action Plan

Summary

The plan sets out more than 90 Federal policy actions across three pillars: accelerating AI innovation, building American AI infrastructure, and leading in international AI diplomacy and security. It responds to Executive Order 14179, which called for an AI Action Plan. It recommends deregulation, support for open-source models, AI adoption in government, data center permitting, export of American AI, and export control enforcement.

Who it applies to

A policy roadmap for the U.S. Federal government, directing Federal agencies such as the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Commerce on AI policy. It is not a binding regulation on private parties.

Key points

• Directs agencies to identify, revise or repeal regulations that hinder AI development, and to consider a state's AI regulatory climate in funding decisions.
• Updates Federal procurement guidelines so government contracts only with frontier LLM developers whose systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.
• Streamlines permitting for data centers, semiconductor fabs and energy infrastructure.
• Led by Department of Commerce, explores location verification of advanced AI chips and develops new export controls on semiconductor manufacturing sub-systems.
• Has Center for AI Standards and Innovation evaluate frontier AI systems for national security risks.
