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]

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.
