New Program Lets U.S. Firms Apply
The Secretary of Commerce must establish the American AI Exports Program within 90 days of July 23, 2025 and issue a public call for proposals. Industry-led consortia can submit proposals (must include specific full‑stack components, target countries, an operational model, and requested Federal incentives) no later than 90 days after the public call and will be considered on a rolling basis for designation as priority AI export packages.
Export Controls and Investment Rules Required
All proposals must comply with U.S. export control regimes, outbound investment regulations, and end‑user policies, including chapter 58 of title 50, United States Code, and Bureau of Industry and Security guidance. Compliance with these legal rules is a required condition for participation in the Program.
Diplomatic Push to Open Markets and Investment
The Secretary of State, with the Economic Diplomacy Action Group, will develop a unified Federal strategy to promote U.S. AI exports, align technical and financial resources, coordinate multilateral initiatives, analyze market access barriers, and support partner countries in building pro‑innovation regulations and infrastructure. The Secretary will also coordinate with the SBA Office of Investment and Innovation to facilitate investment in U.S. small businesses to develop AI technologies and manufacture AI infrastructure.
