The global race for artificial intelligence: regulatory and other acts governing the development and application of artificial intelligence in the United States of America

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the strategy of the United States of America in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) development and regulation, focusing on the key policy document – “America’s AI Action Plan” (July 2025), issued under President D. Trump’s Executive Order 14179. The main provisions of the plan are structured around three pillars: 1) accelerating innovation through deregulation, support for Open-Source AI, integration of technologies into the public sector and various economic industries, investments in fundamental science, and AI safety measures; 2) building infrastructure by streamlining permitting procedures, modernizing power grids, revitalizing semiconductor manufacturing, and enhancing cybersecurity; 3) asserting global leadership through the export expansion of American technologies to allies, countering China’s influence, and tightening export controls against adversary nations. Other documents are also analyzed (e.g., the Presidential Executive Order of July 23, 2025, “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government” among others). Proceeding from the concept of an objectively-subjectively determined world and assuming the emergence of AI as part of objective reality and the objective process of humanity’s development, the author concludes that despite the declared commitment to safety, US policy is distinctly protectionist in nature and aims at technological dominance and containment of competitors, primarily the PRC. The AI Development Plan represents a combination of measures to accelerate domestic development and promote it on the global arena.
