Key Points

  • The bill establishes a U.S. policy to dominate global AI deployment by ensuring allies and partners build their AI systems on American technology — from the chips and data centers to the AI models and cloud services.
  • The Commerce Department would create a new program for groups of U.S. companies (industry consortia) to submit proposals for exporting the full AI stack to allied countries, with security requirements baked in.

    From policy text

    “The Secretary of Commerce shall establish and carry out a program to identify and receive proposals that meet United States-approved security requirements and standards from industry consortia to facilitate the export of the U.S. full AI stack to allies and partners.”

  • To protect national security, the bill requires multiple agencies to work with foreign buyers to prevent adversaries from getting access to American AI technology, including by addressing foreign adversary hardware and software within AI supply chains.

    From policy text

    “The presence of foreign adversary hardware and software within the artificial intelligence supply chains of foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack, and supply-chain security measures that foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack take to eliminate that presence.”

  • Commerce would launch a biannual 'AI Export Success Tracker' measuring U.S. global AI dominance by tracking metrics like what share of the world's AI chips, data centers, cloud services, and AI model usage belongs to American firms.

    From policy text

    “Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and biannually thereafter for five years, the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, shall complete an estimate of the success of the export of the U.S. full AI stack”
