In December 2025, U.S. President Trump inked an executive order centered on artificial intelligence policy. This order put forth the idea of setting up a central, authorized agency. Such an agency would handle unified approval processes and strategic planning, with the goal of standardizing regulatory rules at the federal level. This way, it would prevent individual states from crafting their own regulatory policies.

David Sacks, the official in charge of AI - related affairs, explained that the primary aim of this action is to level the regulatory playing field across states. By doing so, it safeguards companies from the burden of excessively high compliance costs. These high costs could otherwise eat into their profit margins and erode their competitiveness in the market.

The executive order also has provisions for integrating federal data resources and supercomputing capabilities. It promotes the use of AI in scientific research through the “Genesis Program.” The program places a special emphasis on supporting strategic sectors. These include advanced manufacturing, where cutting - edge technologies are used to transform production processes; biotechnology, which involves the use of living organisms or their parts to develop products; critical materials, essential for various high - tech industries; and energy, a vital sector for national development and sustainability.
