The national and economic security of the United States requires leadership in across the Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem, from semiconductors and cloud technology to the engineers and scientists who turn data and algorithms into large language models. Last week, President Trump made clear in his trip to the Middle East that his administration understands that keeping the U.S. at the cutting edge of technology requires a global approach – announcing of investment commitments to advance this transformational technology. These announcements, many of which involved , reflect the importance of U.S. companies’ leadership in the United States and in foreign markets. Maintaining the lead in the most advanced AI capabilities will require U.S. companies to outpace their competitors in markets around the world. President Trump’s recent policies put his words into effective action.
The flow and movement of the technologies and computing power that underpin AI appropriately invites questions about risk. The U.S. government has the solemn responsibility to address those national security concerns. Indeed, White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks rightly the deals announced last week incorporate “extensive security requirements.” It is also important to consider that achieving U.S. national security objectives involves two sides of the same coin: preventing entities of concern from accessing the most sensitive technologies and driving U.S. competitiveness to keep U.S. technologies and capabilities at the cutting edge.
The Trump Administration should focus on controlling U.S. technology’s export to China and other identified adversarial nations for the highest-risk, most sensitive use cases, and otherwise incentivize the rest of the world to seek out and adopt U.S. technology to support U.S. market leadership and influence. Engaging in foreign markets and implementing effective controls on U.S. technology as part of a global, long-term approach will drive U.S. competitiveness across the full AI stack and foster continued U.S. technological leadership. In rescinding the poorly conceived and timed Biden AI Diffusion Rule, the Trump Administration got it right.
There are real benefits to engaging with customers, suppliers, and talent overseas; gaining intelligence on local market developments and conditions; benefitting from comparative advantages; and fostering investments in U.S. enterprises, as the President did last week. Importantly, global customers must continue to view U.S. companies as dependable, without fear that contracts or orders could go unfulfilled because of abrupt regulatory or policy changes. The Trump Administration’s withdrawal of the AI Diffusion rule and his visit to the Middle East represents the Administration’s understanding of the importance of U.S. companies’ global competitiveness to the success of U.S. economic security, national security, and leadership.
Companies in the U.S. take pride in developing secure and innovative technologies and supply chains. U.S. technology companies must engender trust and reliability with their customers and partners to remain competitive, which means companies have a vested interest in taking security seriously. Consider some of the measures that companies employ for securing data centers, for example, which are a critical part of the AI stack: layered physical security design; controlled access and least privilege principles; multi-factor authentication for entry to secure areas; and cybersecurity measures, including zero trust architectures, among other digital defenses.
A resilient, secure U.S. economy will do what its adversaries cannot: build lasting, durable partnerships founded on mutual benefit. Leaders across the Trump Administration have outlined a clear vision for U.S.-origin AI infrastructure to underpin the world’s AI development. To achieve this objective, and support U.S. economic security and national security, U.S. companies must engage with suppliers and customers around the world and continue to be “partners of choice.” 91pro视频 looks forward to working with President Trump and his administration to realize its ambitious innovation agenda.
