U.S. President Trump's directives for artificial intelligence aim to bolster American ambitions for worldwide AI supremacy.
The Trump administration has taken a significant step towards enhancing American dominance in artificial intelligence (AI) with the signing of three new executive orders on July 23, 2025. These orders, part of the broader AI Action Plan titled Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan, aim to accelerate AI innovation both domestically and internationally[1][2][3][4].
The orders focus on three key areas: promoting the export of American AI technology, accelerating federal permitting of data center infrastructure, and preventing ideological biases in federal AI systems.
- Promoting the Export of American AI Technology This order emphasises the need to expand the global reach of U.S.-developed AI technologies. It seeks to facilitate exports and international collaboration on AI hardware, software, and systems built in America, bolstering U.S. competitiveness in the global AI market[2][3][4].
- Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure This executive order aims to streamline federal approvals for building data centers, which are critical infrastructure for AI development and deployment. By reducing bureaucratic delays, the order intends to enhance the capacity and speed of AI-related data processing and storage domestically[2][3][4].
- Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government This order directs revisions to federal AI systems and procurement to avoid incorporating ideological biases. Its aim is to ensure government AI tools are "ideologically neutral," thereby promoting trust and efficiency in federal AI use[1][3][4].
The comprehensive exports program accompanying the new executive orders will provide financing tools, diplomatic assistance, and technical resources for American AI technology exports. The Administration hopes that these measures will help the United States compete more effectively with China[1][2][3][4].
The Trump administration's new AI strategy demonstrates a commitment to global AI leadership, enhancing economic competitiveness, national security, and promoting human flourishing with American-led AI innovations powering future growth[1][2][3][4].
The Center for Data Innovation has released a statement in response to the new executive orders, expressing optimism about the potential benefits for the United States. However, the specific details of how these orders will be implemented are yet to be revealed[1].
