Promoting the Export of the American AI Technology Stack

Signed July 23, 2025, printed at 90 FR 35393. 4 sections of substance, 1,133 words.

In plain English

This order backs the sale of AI abroad. It aims to spread the tools and chips made here.

Sec. 1. Purpose

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a foundational technology that will define the future of economic growth, national security, and global competitiveness for decades to come. The United States must not only lead in developing general-purpose and frontier AI capabilities, but also ensure that American AI technologies, standards, and governance models are adopted worldwide to strengthen relationships with our allies and secure our continued technological dominance. This order establishes a coordinated national effort to support the American AI industry by promoting the export of full-stack American AI technology packages.

In plain English

This states the aim. It says AI will shape growth for decades. It says security and standing ride on it too. It says the country must lead in building AI. It says American AI must also spread abroad. That ties allies closer. This order sets up a joint push to export full AI packages.

Sec. 2. Policy

It is the policy of the United States to preserve and extend American leadership in AI and decrease international dependence on AI technologies developed by our adversaries by supporting the global deployment of United States-origin AI technologies.

In plain English

This states the policy. This country's lead in AI must be kept. It must be widened. Other countries lean on AI built by rivals. That reliance must shrink. The way to do both is the same. AI built here must be spread around the world.

Sec. 3. Establishment of the American AI Exports Program

(a) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce shall, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), establish and implement the American AI Exports Program (Program) to support the development and deployment of United States full-stack AI export packages. (b) The Secretary of Commerce shall issue a public call for proposals from industry-led consortia for inclusion in the Program. The public call shall require that each proposal must: (i) include a full-stack AI technology package, which encompasses: (A) AI-optimized computer hardware (e.g., chips, servers, and accelerators), data center storage, cloud services, and networking, as well as a description of whether and to what extent such items are manufactured in the United States; (B) data pipelines and labeling systems; (C) AI models and

In plain English

This sets up an export program. Commerce has 90 days to start it. State and the science office help. Commerce must ask industry groups for plans. Each plan must offer a full AI package. That means AI chips and servers. It means storage and cloud and networks. It means data pipelines. It means models and labeling.

Sec. 4. Mobilization of Federal Financing Tools

(a) The Economic Diplomacy Action Group (EDAG), established in the Presidential Memorandum of June 21, 2024, chaired by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative, and as described in section 708 of the Championing American Business Through Diplomacy Act of 2019 (Title VII of Division J of Public Law 116-94) (CABDA), shall coordinate mobilization of Federal financing tools in support of priority AI export packages. (b) I delegate to the Administrator of the Small Business Administration and the Director of OSTP the authority under section 708(c)(3) of CABDA to appoint senior officials from their respective executive departments and agencies to serve as members of the EDAG. (c) The Secretary of State, in consultation with the EDAG, shall be responsible for: (i) developing and executing a unified Federal Government

In plain English

This lines up federal money. A trade group led by State does the work. Commerce and the trade office help. A 2019 law defines the group. Two more officials join it by this order. State must build one federal plan. The aim is to back priority AI export deals.

Sec. 5. General Provisions

Every order carries this. It is not what the order does.

(a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party [[Page 35395]] against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person. (d) The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Commerce. <GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT> (Presidential Sig.) THE WHITE HOUSE, July 23,

In plain English

This is the closing clause that nearly every order carries. It says the order does not change what the law already allows. It also says no one can sue to enforce it.
