Excellence in AI represents more than a policy goal; it is the basis for maintaining American leadership across economic, military and diplomatic spheres.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The White House recently released America\u2019s AI Action Plan \u2013 the US&#8217;s new guide to ensure American excellence in AI. The Action Plan outlines a national strategy &#8211; prioritizing private-sector innovation, infrastructure expansion, and global AI leadership with over 90 Federal policies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan rests on three foundational pillars:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pillar I <\/strong>calls to accelerate AI innovation. The federal government is cutting unnecessary red tape and empowering agencies to prioritize mission-first, secure AI solutions for defense, law enforcement, border protection, and citizen services.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pillar II <\/strong>is to prioritize building the infrastructure (data centers, semiconductor manufacturing, and energy) needed to power these AI solutions on a national level.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pillar III<\/strong> focuses on ensuring that America is the global leader in international AI diplomacy and security \u2013 mitigating cybersecurity and national security risks caused by externally produced AI systems.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI Action Plan is the latest in a series of targeted memos, executive orders, resolutions, and policies aiming to support AI adoption across America.&nbsp; Understanding the AI Action Plan requires a review of the current State of AI in American politics.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimizing Roadblocks for Innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carahsoft.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Excellence-for-Economic-and-Diplomatic-Leadership-Blog_Blog-Embedded.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carahsoft.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Excellence-for-Economic-and-Diplomatic-Leadership-Blog_Blog-Embedded.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carahsoft.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Excellence-for-Economic-and-Diplomatic-Leadership-Blog_Blog-Embedded-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In alignment with the recent Action Plan, there has been a Government-wide push to overcome Federal hurdles and regulatory constraints to AI adoption. The recently passed<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- Congress bill\"> H.R.\u202f1<\/a> is a major milestone &#8211; removing outdated legislative barriers while allocating funding for AI in defense and AI infrastructure at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- energy department website\">Department of Energy (DOE).<\/a> The bill encourages centralized, Federal legislation, rather than having AI laws be passed state-by-state, enabling consistent, nation-wide progress\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directed agencies to prepare for widespread AI deployment by appointing AI officers and publishing practical AI adoption strategies. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M-25-21-Accelerating-Federal-Use-of-AI-through-Innovation-Governance-and-Public-Trust.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- white house website\">Memo-25-21, \u201cAccelerating Federal Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust,\u201d<\/a> OMB set forth a number of AI-related recommendations for agencies, such as removing barriers to innovation, accelerating AI adoption, and ensuring AI delivers real benefits to the American people. The companion memo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/M-25-22-Driving-Efficient-Acquisition-of-Artificial-Intelligence-in-Government.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- white house AI order\">M-25-22<\/a>, encourages agencies to source American made AI solutions, simplifying procurement and increasing interoperability. When viewed as a whole, these Federal guidelines emphasize deregulation, support open-source models, and highlight leadership from the Private sector as the key to rapid AI advancement and adoption across industries.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building AI Infrastructure at Scale&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to removing legislative roadblocks to AI adoption, recent Federal guidance lays the physical foundation for AI expansion. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- nsf website\">National Science Foundation (NSF)<\/a> requested information to support Federal development in AI infrastructure, receiving over 10,000 responses.&nbsp; Within the NSF, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nairrpilot.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- nairr pilot\">National AI Research Resource (NAIRR)<\/a> are working to utilize Federal lands to construct data centers and power infrastructure. The combination of new data centers, a modernized electric grid, and specialized workforce training for AI will make AI more accessible to the government as well as the American citizens. In addition to the nation\u2019s continued advancement in AI Infrastructure, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- gsa homepage\">General Service Administration (GSA)<\/a> aims to launch an \u201cAI procurement toolbox,\u201d which would help agencies develop and test new technology, including Generative AI (GenAI) to improve Government operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The private sector remains dedicated to AI advancement. Recent initiatives underscore the market\u2019s effort to scale AI. One such effort is <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- openAI website\">OpenAI<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softbank.jp\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- softbank\">SoftBank<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carahsoft.com\/vendors\/oracle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oracle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mgx.ae\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- mgx website\">MGX\u2019s<\/a> $500 billion initiative <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/announcing-the-stargate-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-track=\"Carahsoft - AI Excellence for Economic and Diplomatic Leadership\u00a0Blog - 2025- openAI stargate project\">Stargate<\/a>, which aims to expand U.S. AI capacity.
