US President Donald Trump signed AI action planWhich underlines a path to the US to lead in the AI race. For enterprises already in the throat of deploying the AI system, the rules represent a clear indication that this administration intends to treat AI forward and may indicate how the provider will contact for AI development.
Like the AI Executive Order signed by Biden in 2023, Trump’s order mainly concerns government offices, directing how they can contract with AI models and application providers, as it is not a legislative act.
The AI scheme may not directly affect enterprises, but analysts said that the government ever takes a position on AI, the ecosystem changes.
Matt Wood, Commercial Technology and Innovation Officer Matt Wood, Commercial Technology and Innovation Officer Matt Wood, Commercial Technology and Innovation Officer, “can shape the ecosystem that operates the scheme in all of us-one who can reward those who can move forward and distribute the results of the real world. PWCTold venturebeat in an email. “For enterprises, the signal is clear: AI adopting speed is accelerating, and the cost of leggings is increasing. Even though the plan center on federal agencies, ripple effects-credences, infrastructure, and norms will reach the front.” Well deployed. “
AI Impact series returns to San Francisco – 5 August
The next phase of AI is here – are you ready? Leaders of Block, GSK and SAP include how autonomous agents are re-shaping the enterprise workflows-from the decision making of time-to-end and automation.

He said that the action plan “is not a blueprint for Enterprise AI.” Nevertheless, enterprises should expect an AI development environment that prefer speed, scale, experiment and low dependence on regulatory shelters. Companies working with the government should also be prepared for additional investigation on models and applications used by them to ensure alignment of government values.
The action plan explains how government agencies can cooperate with AI companies, prefer the recommended tasks to invest in infrastructure and encourage AI development and to establish guidelines for export and import of AI equipment.
Charlie Beyondi, Assistant Vice President and Analyst Moody ratingSaid that the plan “reveals the role of AI as the main driver of a rapid strategic property and economic change.” However, she said that the scheme does not address regulatory fragmentation.
“However, the current regulatory fragmentation in the US states can create uncertainty for developers and businesses. Between innovation and safety and the correct balance between national ambition and regulator and regulatory clarity, it would be important to continuously, continuously enterprise adoption and avoid unexpected recession,” he said.
What is inside the action plan
AI action plan is broken into three columns:
- AI innovation boom
- Construction American AI basic structure
- Put in International AI diplomacy and security.
The major title piece of AI action plan centers, an important thing for this administration, “to ensure free speech and American values”. It directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Nist) to remove misinformation and references to diversity, equity and inclusion. This prevents agencies from working with the foundation model that has a “top-down agenda”.
It is not clear that the government expects the existing model and dataset to follow the suit, or what such an AI will look. Enterprises are particularly concerned about potentially controversial statements can create an AI system, as clarified by recent grooc keraffal.
This orders the Nist to publish research and conclusions to ensure that models from China, such as Deepsek, Cowen And KimiThere are no alliances with the Chinese Communist Party.
However, the most resulting positions include supporting the open-source system, creating a new test and evaluation ecosystem and streamlining the process for the creation of data centers.
Through the scheme, the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation are directed to develop AI testbands to pilot the AI system in the real -world settings “, allowing researchers to allow prototype systems. It also removes red tape associated with evaluation of safety tests for the model.
What many people have encouraged in the industry are clear support for open-source AI and open-weight models.
“We need to ensure that there are open models installed on American values in the US. Open-source and open-weet models can become global standards in some areas of business and educational research worldwide. For this reason, they also have geostrative value. While the decision to release an open or closed model is for the developer, the federal government should create a supportive environment for the open model.”
It makes sense, such as open source supporters Throat faceKlement Delangue praised the decision on social media, saying: “This is the time for the American AI community to wake up,” Open “leave the bullshit, and return to its roots: Open science and open-source AI, Frontier Labs, Big Tech, Startups, Universities and Universities of Universities and Non-Profits.”
BCG Managing Director Sesh Iyer told Venturebeat that it would assure the enterprises to adopt open-source LLM and encourage more closed-source providers to “reconsider the ownership strategies” and consider the potential model weight. “
The scheme mentions that cloud providers should give priority to the Defense Department, which may compete in the crowded waiting list to some enterprises.
A little more clarity on rules
AI Action Plan is more similar for an executive order and can only direct government agencies within the scope of the executive branch. Full AI regulation, one that ends through multiple administration can only be obtained through Congress.
Enterprises understood that changes in administration can mean less emphasis on AI rules, and can be hung on themselves for that effect. The Trump administration canceled the EO of Biden, already stopped several projects after being signed.
With the signing of the action plan, the Trump administration at least gives up its priorities and stance on AI development, which will help increase the enterprise confidence in technology.
However, even in the absence of an EO or Congress -led regulation, the enterprises were already building and expanding the AI ecosystem. Although there is some concern over the lack of rules and the uncertainty with it, it was never going to prevent businesses from getting excited about a technology that promises to make their work easier. The plan makes it easier, at least, it makes it easier.
“It reduces some external friction, such as rapid permits, more data center capacity and potential funding. But the actual acceleration occurs inside the enterprise: skills, governance, and ability to deploy responsibly. Those who have already made that the muscles will be given the best place to redeem the speed of planning,” PWC’s wood said.
