US AI Action Plan
The operating system of current US AI policy: it drives agency rulemaking, procurement standards (including the 'unbiased AI' executive order), export promotion, and the federal posture against state regulation — essential context for any US AI strategy.
What it is
A 90+ point federal strategy across three pillars — accelerating innovation, building AI infrastructure, and leading internationally — including export of US AI stacks, datacenter permitting reform, and procurement preferences for 'ideologically neutral' models.
