I. Introduction

The American AI Exports Program represents a pivotal strategic initiative to strengthen U.S. technological leadership in artificial intelligence through coordinated export promotion [1]. As the global AI market accelerates toward $2.4 trillion by 2032 [2], competition intensifies, particularly from state-subsidized alternatives [3]. The program’s establishment under Executive Order 14320 reflects recognition that AI leadership requires not only technological innovation but also strategic deployment in international markets.

The modern AI technology stack has evolved into a complex ecosystem encompassing infrastructure, frameworks, models, and applications [4]. This complexity presents both opportunities and challenges for export initiatives, requiring sophisticated governance and compliance mechanisms [5]. Recent developments in AI infrastructure, including dedicated AI factories [6] and interoperable agent frameworks [7], further complicate the export landscape.

This paper also addresses and synthesizes stakeholder’s multiple dimensions. We examine the perspectives of technology providers, content industries, policy experts, and security professionals to develop a holistic understanding of implementation challenges and opportunities.

II. Background: The Evolving AI Technology Stack

A. Components of Modern AI Stacks

Contemporary AI technology stacks encompass multiple interdependent layers, each with distinct export considerations [8]. The infrastructure layer includes specialized hardware [9], cloud platforms [10], and edge computing systems [11]. The development layer features frameworks, tools, and integrated development environments that enable AI application creation [12]. The model layer encompasses both proprietary and open-source AI models with varying licensing and export restrictions [13]. Finally, the application layer includes specialized AI agents and solutions for enterprise deployment [14].

B. Global Competitive Landscape

China’s comprehensive industrial policy for AI represents significant competitive pressure [3]. Through state-directed efforts spanning the entire technology stack, Chinese initiatives offer bundled solutions with subsidized financing, creating challenging market conditions for U.S. exporters [15]. This competitive dynamic necessitates strategic policy responses that balance security concerns with market accessibility.

C. Emerging Technologies and Trends

Several technological trends significantly impact export considerations:

AI Agent Interoperability: Protocols like A2A and MCP enable seamless agent collaboration but introduce security complexities [16]
Federated Learning: Enables privacy-preserving distributed model training across jurisdictions [17]
Edge AI: Supports localized processing while maintaining central coherence [18]
Automated Compliance: Emerging tools for dynamic export control enforcement [19]

XI. The American AI Exports Program Analysis

A. Key Requirements Analysis

1) Full-Stack AI Technology Package Definition

We propose a comprehensive "full-stack AI technology package" that must include five critical components, each with specific export considerations: Preprints 188086 i003

Our comprehensive stack definition aligns with current industry standards for AI technology stacks [4,8]. This layered approach recognizes the interdependencies between hardware infrastructure [9], data systems, AI models [13], security frameworks [5], and application layers [14].

2) Consortium Formation Requirements

We propose to establish specific requirements for industry-led consortia, addressing critical governance and participation questions:

Table 8. Federal Register Consortium Requirements Analysis.

Aspect	RFI Requirement	Industry Implications
Eligibility	U.S.-based leadership with export capacity	Potential exclusion of smaller enterprises
Foreign Participation	Limited with security vetting	Need for trusted partner frameworks
Modularity	Encouraged but not required	Flexibility in technology integration
Governance	Transparent decision-making structures	Alignment with corporate governance standards
Lead Entity	Designated leadership with integration experience	Concentration of power in large tech firms

The consortium model addresses interoperability challenges highlighted in recent AI research [16,26]. However, it also raises concerns about market concentration and barriers to entry for smaller innovators.

B. Security and Compliance Framework

We propose comprehensive compliance with U.S. national security regulations:

Export Controls: Full adherence to Bureau of Industry and Security regulations
Outbound Investment: Compliance with CFIUS and related frameworks
End-User Policies: Strict vetting of technology recipients
Cybersecurity: Implementation of NIST-aligned security measures

These requirements align with emerging AI security standards [22,27] but create implementation challenges for automated compliance systems [19]. The tension between export promotion and security controls represents a significant policy challenge.

C. Market Strategy Implications

The RFI should focus on market prioritization, requiring consortia to identify specific target countries or regional blocs. This approach reflects strategic considerations in several ways: Preprints 188086 i005

This market-focused approach reflects the competitive analysis of China’s industrial policy [3] and recognizes the need for strategic positioning in the global AI market [2].

D. Federal Support Mechanisms

The Federal Register outlines specific federal support tools available to selected consortia:

Table 9. Federal Support Mechanisms Analysis.

Support Type	Legal Authority	Industry Relevance
Direct Loans	12 U.S.C. 635	Infrastructure financing
Loan Guarantees	12 U.S.C. 635	Risk mitigation
Equity Investments	22 U.S.C. 9621	Consortium capitalization
Political Risk Insurance	22 U.S.C. 9621	International deployment
Technical Assistance	22 U.S.C. 2421(b)	Implementation support
Feasibility Studies	22 U.S.C. 2421(b)	Market assessment
Regulatory Guidance	Agency discretion	Compliance navigation
Diplomatic Support	State Department	Market access

These support mechanisms address financing competitiveness concerns raised in stakeholder responses [28] and align with recommendations for enhanced federal support structures.

E. Implementation Challenges Identified

The RFI highlights several implementation challenges that require resolution:

1) Definitional Ambiguity

The notice acknowledges the need for clearer definitions of key terms:

"Consortium" formation and governance structures
"Full-stack" technology package boundaries

"Trusted partner" criteria for foreign participation

These definitional issues align with industry calls for clarity [1,4].

2) Security-Competitiveness Balance

The tension between stringent security controls and market competitiveness presents significant challenges:

Export control compliance versus technology accessibility
End-user vetting versus market expansion
Security frameworks versus implementation flexibility
Compliance costs versus price competitiveness

This balance is particularly critical given competition from state-subsidized alternatives [3].

3) Intellectual Property Considerations

The RFI implicitly raises IP issues through its focus on:

Technology transfer controls
Licensing requirements for AI models
Copyright protection for training data
Patent considerations for AI innovations

These issues connect directly with content industry concerns about IP protection [25].

F. Connections to Industry References

The Federal Register notice connects directly with several key references from the bibliography: Preprints 188086 i007

XIII. Conclusion and Future Research Directions

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for implementing the American AI Exports Program, addressing the complex interplay between technological leadership, national security, and global competitiveness in artificial intelligence. Through detailed analysis of multi-stakeholder perspectives, we have developed a structured approach to navigating the challenges of AI technology exports in an increasingly competitive global landscape.

Our multi-layer framework establishes the critical components required for successful program implementation: a strategic foundation focused on U.S. leadership and security; robust governance structures through industry-led consortia; technically sound architectures supporting modular AI stacks; and market strategies balancing accessibility with compliance. The visual representations and analytical matrices provided throughout this paper offer practical tools for decision-making, risk assessment, and implementation planning.

Key findings highlight the necessity of balanced approaches across several dimensions: security controls that protect national interests without stifling innovation; intellectual property frameworks that incentivize creation while enabling technology transfer; governance models that ensure accountability while fostering collaboration; and market strategies that prioritize strategic alignment while building sustainable partnerships. The tension between export promotion and security compliance represents a central challenge that requires sophisticated, automated solutions and graduated risk-based approaches.

The Federal Register analysis demonstrates both the opportunities and complexities of implementing a full-stack AI export program. While the consortium model offers significant advantages in integration and scale, it also raises concerns about market concentration and barriers to entry that must be carefully addressed through inclusive participation frameworks.

Future research should focus on several critical areas: longitudinal studies of program implementation outcomes across different market contexts; comparative analysis of security-compliance frameworks in international AI deployments; empirical assessment of consortium models’ impact on innovation ecosystems; and development of advanced automated compliance technologies that can adapt to evolving regulations. Additionally, research examining the broader economic and geopolitical impacts of strategic AI exports will be essential for informing long-term policy decisions.

The successful implementation of the American AI Exports Program requires not only technical expertise and market understanding but also diplomatic coordination, regulatory innovation, and continuous adaptation to evolving global conditions. By adopting the comprehensive framework presented in this paper—with its emphasis on balanced approaches, stakeholder collaboration, and iterative improvement—the United States can strengthen its AI leadership while contributing to responsible global AI governance. This represents not merely an economic opportunity but a strategic imperative for maintaining technological leadership in an era of accelerating global competition.
