President Donald Trump marked the plan's release with a speech in Washington at an event called Winning the AI Race, which was attended by senior officials and tech leaders. “From this day forward, it’ll be the policy of the United States to do whatever it takes to lead the world in artificial intelligence,” he said.

President Trump signed three executive orders on artificial intelligence the same day to facilitate the quick build-out of data center infrastructure, promote the export of American AI technology, mandate that AI models used by the government demonstrate “truthfulness and ideological neutrality,” and prevent so-called “woke AI” models. His “AI Action Plan” includes removing regulations that could hinder AI innovation.
