The Trump administration’s new AI policy blueprint seeks to make American technology the standard for artificial intelligence globally by making it easier for US allies to acquire crucial hardware and software, according to White House science and technology director Michael Kratsios.

“We want the entire world to be running on an American artificial intelligence stack,” Kratsios said Thursday in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “That is our cloud, our chips, our algorithms, all of that needs to be exported and packaged to the world, so that we become the ecosystem of choice globally.”
