America's AI Action Plan (Winning the Race)
Federal AI strategy built on three pillars (accelerate innovation, build AI infrastructure, lead in international AI diplomacy and security) that directs agencies to remove regulatory barriers, revise the NIST AI RMF, expand CAISI model evaluations, speed data-center permitting and promote exports of the US 'AI stack'. It also tells agencies to weigh a state's AI regulatory climate when awarding AI-related funding.
Why it matters
It is the roadmap behind most 2025-26 federal AI actions (OMB memos, state-preemption push, export programme), so it predicts where federal rules are heading.
