AFP Applauds White House Directive on AI

Jul 23, 2025 by AFP

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Trump administration announced America’s AI Action Plan, a wide-ranging directive covering AI regulation, infrastructure, workforce training, diplomacy, and security. The plan signals broad coordination across the federal government to streamline AI development and deployment.

Americans for Prosperity offered feedback during the comment period of this plan, urging the administration to work alongside Congress to codify these efforts to “provide the necessary certainty and clarity for what the future looks like here.”

AFP Chief Government Affairs Officer Brent Gardner issued the following statement on the plan:

“President Trump’s AI Action Plan will ensure America leads the world in innovation, economic freedom, and technological progress. By removing regulatory roadblocks, empowering innovative small business owners, and embracing open-source development, this plan puts the ingenuity of the American people—not bureaucrats—in the driver’s seat of the AI revolution.

“This move by the White House rightly course-corrects four years of Biden-era efforts to centrally control AI development and stifle American innovation. We applaud the administration’s commitment to protecting free speech and ensuring private-sector breakthroughs aren’t halted by burdensome regulation.

“It’s now time for Congress to work alongside the administration to codify these efforts in order to create generational change that will enable AI adoption across industries, remove permitting barriers to build infrastructure, and unleash innovation.”
