On July 23, 2025, the White House unveiled its “Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan” (the “Plan”), a comprehensive roadmap outlining a series of policy goals and recommended policy actions intended “for near-term execution by the federal government.”1 The Trump administration is expected to implement the Plan across economic, national security, and technological domains with the aim of achieving “global dominance in artificial intelligence (“AI”).”2 The Plan includes over 90 policy recommendations structured around three pillars: 1) Accelerating AI Innovation; 2) Building American AI Infrastructure; and 3) Leading in International AI Diplomacy and Security.3 Simultaneous with the release of the Plan, the Trump administration issued 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”) that aim to operationalize the Plan’s proposed policy recommendations. This Alert summarizes the key elements of the Plan’s three pillars and highlights practical and legal implications for intellectual property attorneys, AI developers and enterprise users to consider.
