America’s top tech companies have shown strong support for the Trump administration’s new Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy, which emphasizes reducing regulations and giving companies more freedom to develop and expand AI technology.
Palantir, a software company with deep ties to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, welcomed the move, calling it a significant step forward for American innovation. “AI is the birthright of the country that harnessed the atom and put a man on the moon. With today’s AI Action Plan, the Trump Administration has written the source code for the next American century. Palantir is proud to support it,” the company said in a statement.
Speaking at the official announcement, Donald Trump said the goal of the plan is to ensure the U.S. wins the global competition in AI. “America is the country that started the AI race — and as President of the United States, I’m here today to declare that America is going to WIN it,” he said.
The policy, announced Wednesday, outlines three main priorities: cutting red tape, making it easier to build data centers and energy infrastructure, and boosting exports of American-made AI technology. It aims to establish U.S. dominance across the entire AI stack—hardware, software, models, and applications.
“The United States must meet global demand for AI by exporting its full AI technology stack—hardware, models, software, applications, and standards—to all countries willing to join America’s AI alliance. A failure to meet this demand would be an unforced error, causing these countries to turn to our rivals. The distribution and diffusion of American technology will stop our strategic rivals from making our allies dependent on foreign adversary technology,” the plan states.
Industry group NetChoice also expressed its support. “NetChoice applauds the White House’s AI Action Plan overall and is encouraged to see the focus on red tape reduction and investment in America’s future. From unleashing energy to embracing regulatory humility and ensuring our AI systems are adopted around the world, we look forward to working with the President to usher in the Golden Age of American innovation,” said Patrick Hegder, its policy director.
However, some experts have raised concerns about how some parts of the plan will be put into action—especially the goal to remove ideological bias from AI models. “I don’t envy the civil servants operationalizing this: ideological bias can be in the eye of the beholder, and First Amendment considerations may complicate things. High-performing LLMs will not be able to sidestep ideologically contested territory—advising on future weather trends, for example, will require models to draw on some understanding of climate science,” wrote a technology researcher.
The plan also focuses on pushing back against Chinese influence in international AI governance. Still, some experts caution that the U.S. emphasis on “dominance” may make other countries uneasy about relying too heavily on American technology.
“The US already has clear leadership or leverage at virtually every level of the AI stack… But words matter, and there’s a tension between publicly calling for ‘dominance’ on the one hand, and seeking to ‘ensure our allies are building on American technology’ on the other,” another expert explained. “Partnerships that pull foreign capitals into America’s orbit and strike a balance between protecting their sovereignty and sensitive US technology will be more effective than expecting outright dependence,” he added.
