U.S. Strategic Plan Arranges America for Triumph in Artificial Intelligence Competition
In a significant move towards advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the United States, the Trump Administration has unveiled its AI Action Plan on July 23, 2025. The plan, which focuses on three key components - deregulation, infrastructure investment, and global AI diplomacy and security - aims to sustain and enhance America's leadership in AI to promote economic competitiveness, national security, and human flourishing.
The plan emphasizes identifying and eliminating regulations that hinder AI innovation, seeking a deregulatory approach to accelerate development. It also proposes streamlining permits and incentivizing infrastructure that supports AI, such as data centers, semiconductor manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and grid modernization, to ensure sufficient reliable AI-supporting capacity.
The plan promotes the adoption of AI across federal government and industries, highlighting the development of "ideologically neutral" AI systems oriented toward "objective truth." It also mandates the revision of NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework to remove references to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.
The plan includes a federal initiative to export a full AI technology stack (hardware, software, cybersecurity) to allied countries, while enhancing export controls and national security screening to prevent U.S. AI technology from misuse by adversaries. It also underscores creating opportunities for American workers by automating and expanding infrastructure that raises living standards without displacing labor.
The plan reflects a shift towards deregulation and streamlined permitting to foster faster AI innovation and deployment. It imposes ideological constraints on federally procured AI by forbidding what it calls “top-down ideological biases,” aiming to make AI systems politically neutral and focused on factual accuracy. Regulatory barriers at state levels are advised to be handled cautiously, with priority on federal rules to avoid fragmented regulations that could slow AI progress. Export controls and IP protections are intensified for AI technology to secure U.S. global AI dominance and counter foreign threats.
The Chamber, under the leadership of Michael Richards, the executive director of policy at the Chamber's Center for Technology Engagement, has advocated for an AI learning period to allow Congress time to craft a smart regulatory framework for AI in Health Care. The Chamber is committed to working collaboratively with the Trump Administration on AI regulation in Health Care, as well as AI regulation more broadly.
President Trump's concerns about a confusing patchwork of state laws extend to AI in Health Care. He has noted that a burdensome and fragmented regulatory approach could stymie AI innovation, not only in Health Care but also across industries. Rational policymaking is essential to ensure AI innovation benefits both the American people and the broader economy.
The transformative power of AI in Health Care is undeniable. By streamlining regulations and fostering a business-friendly, security-conscious, and ideologically controlled framework, the Trump Administration's AI Action Plan aims to accelerate American AI innovation and competitiveness internationally, while ensuring its responsible and ethical use.
