Summary: This Executive Order establishes the American AI Exports Program to promote the export of U.S. full-stack AI technology packages, reinforcing U.S. leadership in AI, economic growth, and national security. The Secretary of Commerce will lead program implementation, supported by interagency collaboration including the Departments of State, Defense, and Energy, along with OSTP and SBA. Industry consortia will submit proposals for AI export packages featuring hardware, data infrastructure, models, cybersecurity, and applications. The Economic Diplomacy Action Group will coordinate federal financing and diplomatic efforts. Vanderbilt University is poised to engage through its School of Engineering, Data Science Institute, and international offices, though careful management of resources and partnerships is needed to navigate risks such as shifting funding priorities and global competition.

Key Actions: Engage with industry consortia to develop AI export proposals, monitor federal incentives via the Office of Federal Relations, expand AI research and commercialization efforts, and build international partnerships aligned with export targets.
