Summary
The Trump administration's AI strategy is based partly on a bet that the best way to win the AI race is to embed U.S. tech deep inside other countries' digital infrastructure. Starting on Wednesday, U.S. companies can submit proposals to "deliver full-stack American AI technology packages to international partners," per an announcement from Commerce. Companies approved for the program created by President Trump's executive order will be promised government financial incentives that could give them an edge in the global AI race. What they're saying: "By promoting full-stack American solutions, we are strengthening our economic and national security, deepening ties with allies and partners, and ensuring that the future of AI is led by the United States," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a statement.
