Trump pursues global dominance in artificial intelligence
The United States has unveiled an ambitious AI Action Plan, titled Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan, on July 23, 2025 [1][2]. The comprehensive federal strategy aims to promote AI innovation, infrastructure, and international diplomacy to secure U.S. leadership in AI globally.
Michael Kratsios, Director of Science and Technology at the White House, stated that the goal is for the entire world to run on an American AI platform [4]. The plan is structured around three core pillars: Accelerate AI Innovation, Build American AI Infrastructure, and International Diplomacy and Security.
- Accelerate AI Innovation – The plan involves aggressively deregulating AI-related policies, removing barriers to AI development, incentivizing innovation and AI adoption across industries, and emphasizing open-source AI development and federal infrastructure for AI testing [1][3].
- Build American AI Infrastructure – The plan aims to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, including computing power and data sets, to support world-class AI research and deployment domestically [1][4].
- International Diplomacy and Security – The U.S. intends to boost exports of American AI technology to allied countries while tightening export restrictions to competitors, reinforcing security measures, and facilitating international cooperation aligned with U.S. interests [1][2].
The plan includes executive orders to promote exporting American AI technology stacks, accelerate permits for building data center infrastructure, and prevent perceived ideological bias ("woke AI") in federal government AI use [1]. The plan also promotes deregulatory measures by directing federal agencies and encouraging states to remove AI-related regulatory barriers, with funding linked to deregulation compliance [2][3].
The AI Action Plan contrasts sharply with Europe's AI Act, which emphasizes strict regulation, risk management, and ethical constraints on AI use to ensure safety, transparency, and fundamental rights [1][2][3].
It is not clear from the article whether this goal has already been implemented or is still a work in progress. The article did not mention any specific countries or regions that would be targeted for this AI platform, nor did it discuss any potential economic or technological benefits or challenges associated with this goal.
