An “America First” Tech Stack Cannot Be America Alone

Stephan Lang

In the coming weeks, the Trump administration will send important signals on the future of international collaboration in building trusted information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure around the world. With the December 13 deadline for comments on the Commerce Department’s request for information on the administration’s American AI Exports Program now passed, it will soon be time to announce how the federal government will structure the program to promote a U.S. AI stack. In that announcement, it will be critical to show that the United States is committed to working across the entire tech stack with like-minded partners and allies, bringing real resources to promote a shared approach to technology that strengthens democracy and supports basic human rights.
