The American Innovators Network (AIN), a national organization representing American Little Tech companies, commends President Trump and his administration for their bold and decisive action to counter China’s growing influence in the global AI landscape. The new guidelines and recommendations unveiled today mark a pivotal moment in securing America’s dominance in this critical technological race, and we are grateful for President Trump’s leadership in prioritizing policies that empower innovation and strengthen our national competitiveness.

Our Little Tech companies—startups, open-source developers, and early-stage innovators—are the backbone of our nation’s AI revolution. These risk-takers are building the next generation of AI to strengthen our economy, enhance our national security, and solidify our global leadership. The White House’s AI vision recognizes this reality and confirms that our AI future cannot rest solely on a few Big Tech giants. By putting forward a clear federal AI framework, the Administration is paving the way for startups and entrepreneurs to flourish without being overshadowed by established voices. The smart, forward-thinking regulation championed today will keep America’s innovation ecosystem dynamic, competitive, and at the forefront of the global AI race.

AIN remains committed to partnering with the White House to ensure Little Tech’s voice is heard and that our nation continues to lead with strength, ingenuity, and resolve in the face of growing global competition.
