Default Meta Data

Throughout 2025, the Trump administration has tried to shape the direction of national AI policy through a series of executive orders and agency directives. In July 2025, President Trump’s issued the AI Action Plan along with three executive orders: Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government, Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure, and Promoting the Export of the American AI Technology Stack.* These actions aim to reduce (and potentially even eliminate) perceived obstacles to AI development, which the administration believes will cause the U.S. to fall behind its competitors. For companies that develop or deploy AI, these initiatives signal a federal push toward faster infrastructure approvals and a more government-aligned approach to AI exports.
