Trump Unveils National AI Action Plan to Accelerate U.S. Lead

The executive orders mark a shift to a rapid, deregulatory AI strategy that forgoes Biden-era safety controls.

Overview

  • President Trump signed three executive orders on July 23–24 to launch about 90 AI measures focused on infrastructure, exports and ideological neutrality.
  • The administration will streamline permits and approvals for data centers and large-scale energy projects essential to AI development.
  • U.S. financial agencies including the Development Finance Corporation and Export–Import Bank will mobilize support for American AI exports.
  • Federal departments are banned from acquiring generative AI systems deemed to reflect diversity, equity and inclusion biases.
  • Civil-liberties groups warn the plan could undermine existing bias-mitigation safeguards and override state-level AI regulations.
