Full AI Stack Export Promotion Act

(1) The United States is in a race to achieve global dominance in artificial intelligence, the winner of which will reap broad economic and military benefits.

(2) Winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people.

(3) Establishing United States AI as the gold standard for AI worldwide and ensuring our allies build AI on United States technology will help the United States win the AI race.

(4) Advanced AI compute is essential to the AI era, enabling both economic dynamism and novel military capabilities. Denying our foreign adversaries access to this resource, then, is a matter of both geostrategic competition and national security.

(1) maintain United States dominance in the global deployment of artificial intelligence;

(2) drive adoption of the U.S. full AI stack by allies and partners;

(3) ensure global deployment of artificial intelligence is based on United States-developed AI models, run by United States cloud operators, run by data centers owned or operated by United States firms, and functioning on United States-designed artificial intelligence semiconductors;

(4) reduce the barriers faced by United States firms to export the U.S. full AI stack;

(5) counter Chinese influence in international governance bodies and ensure the global deployment of the full AI stack strengthens United States values abroad;

(6) prevent illicit foreign adversary access to the U.S. full AI stack deployed abroad;

(7) ensure the global deployment of AI strengthens the qualitative military superiority of the United States and its allies over foreign adversaries; and

(8) maintain a majority of globally deployed artificial intelligence computing capacity and memory bandwidth in the United States.

The Secretary of Commerce shall establish and carry out a program to identify and receive proposals that meet United States-approved security requirements and standards from industry consortia to facilitate the export of the U.S. full AI stack to allies and partners. An industry consortia shall be eligible to submit proposals under this subsection if the consortia is established only for the purposes of participating in the program under this subsection.

(2) Communicating to foreign countries the importance and benefits of using the U.S. full AI stack to deploy artificial intelligence.

(3) Leveraging the United States position in international diplomatic and standard-setting bodies to advocate for international AI governance approaches that promote innovation, reflect American values, and counter authoritarian influence.

Not later than 180 days after the date on which the strategy required by subsection (c) is completed, the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees the strategy and an update on efforts to implement the strategy.

The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Commerce, shall conduct a study on the benefits and impact of the global deployment of artificial intelligence.

The study required by subsection (a) shall address the following:

(1) The economic, diplomatic, and technological impact for the United States and its allies from the global deployment of the U.S. full AI stack.

(2) The impact on U.S. economic, diplomatic, and technological leadership from the global deployment of the U.S. full AI stack.

(3) How the global deployment of the U.S. full AI stack assists countries worldwide in achieving economic prosperity, improving quality of life, expanding healthcare and educational access for their citizens, and growing access to AI.

(4) The competitive position of the U.S. full AI stack globally, compared to similar technology developed by foreign countries.

(5) How the global deployment of the U.S. full AI stack enhances or affects United States and allied security, including the qualitative military superiority of the United States and its allies over foreign adversaries.

(6) Priority regions and countries for exporting the U.S. full AI stack abroad.

Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State submit to appropriate congressional committees a report on the results of the study required by subsection (a).

The report required by this subsection shall be submitted in unclassified form but may include a classified annex.

The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Energy, shall work with foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack to institute security measures to prevent illicit or unauthorized foreign adversary access to the U.S. full AI stack.

Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the development and implementation of the security measures described in subsection (a).

The report required by this subsection shall be submitted in unclassified form but may include a classified annex.

The report required by subsection (b) shall address the following:

(1) Plans of the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Energy, to increase the speed and security of the deployment of the U.S. full AI stack, such as creating standardized security requirements for the U.S. full AI stack deployed in third countries.

(2) Agreements reached with countries designed to promote adoption of the U.S. full stack, including efforts to prevent illicit or unauthorized foreign adversary access to the U.S. full AI stack.

(3) The security measures that foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack must undertake to prevent transfer of the U.S. full AI stack to foreign adversaries, including by remote access.

(4) The presence of foreign adversary hardware and software within the artificial intelligence supply chains of foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack, and supply-chain security measures that foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack take to eliminate that presence.

(5) Any other relevant information regarding the security of the U.S. full AI stack.

Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and biannually thereafter for five years, the Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, shall complete an estimate of the success of the export of the U.S. full AI stack (in this section referred to as the AI export success tracker).
