White House Begins Implementing 90-Measure AI Action Plan

Federal agencies have begun coordinating to fast-track AI infrastructure projects with vague funding conditions triggering state preemption concerns.

Overview

  • The plan activates over 90 federal measures across three pillars: accelerating innovation, building American AI infrastructure, and leading international AI diplomacy and security.
  • Agencies are ordered to speed permitting for data centers and semiconductor fabs, review and remove regulations that hinder AI development, and launch workforce training in key technical trades.
  • Washington will export full-stack AI packages—including hardware, software and models—to allied nations and require federal contracts to use ideologically neutral frontier AI systems.
  • States deemed to have “burdensome” AI regulations face the loss of AI-related federal funding, raising federal-state tensions over preemption and legal authority.
  • Detailed implementation timelines, agency responsibilities and international partnership frameworks are slated for publication in the coming weeks amid criticism of the plan’s broad language and potential overreach.
