YourVoice.Now Summary

Corporate BenefitsTransparency & Accountability

Nothing here changes daily life — federal agencies would work to sell U.S. AI technology overseas.

Corporate Benefits

Government help selling U.S. AI abroad — new export program

The Commerce Department would take proposals from groups of companies that form to sell American AI technology to allies and partners. The bill orders the program but provides no money for it.

U.S. diplomacy clearing AI export barriers — new industry hotline

The State Department would work to remove foreign rules that block these sales, and would write a plan for that push within 180 days. It would also hold regular meetings with companies and run a hotline for them to report barriers.

Federal standards reassuring foreign AI buyers — written with industry

Commerce would work with other agencies, the public, and those same industry groups to write practices and standards. They would be meant to show large foreign buyers that U.S. AI systems are private, secure, and effective.

Transparency & Accountability

Public estimate of AI computing worldwide — repeated for five years

Commerce would estimate how much AI computing each country has, and how much of the world's AI runs on U.S.-designed chips, U.S.-run data centers, and U.S.-owned models. The findings would go to Congress and be made available to the public.

More about this bill

You would see no change in your daily life, your bills, or your rights. This is a trade bill about companies that build and sell artificial intelligence. That covers the chips, data centers, cloud services, and AI models behind it. Federal agencies would push to sell that American technology abroad. Commerce would run a program for industry groups that want to export it. The State Department would work to remove foreign rules that get in the way. It would open a hotline for companies to report those rules. Commerce would also publish estimates of how much AI computing each country has. The bill orders strategies, studies, and reports, but sets aside no money for them. Its security sections direct talks with foreign buyers rather than new export bans.

Congressional Summary

Full AI Stack Export Promotion ActThis bill requires specified departments to promote the export of the U.S. full artificial intelligence (AI) stack. Full AI stack refers to the compute and data infrastructure that enables AI research and development, including high-performance computing resources, data centers, trained algorithms deployed on such infrastructure, cloud services and infrastructure, and technical standards with which these facets operate.Specifically, the Department of Commerce must establish and carry out a program to identify and receive proposals from industry consortia for exporting the U.S. full AI stack to allies and partners. (Commerce implemented this program following a July 2025 executive order.)Additionally, Commerce mustwork with foreign purchasers of the U.S. full AI stack to institute security measures to prevent illicit or unauthorized foreign adversary (e.g., China) access to the U.S. full AI stack;develop practices and standards to demonstrate to potential purchasers the benefits of adopting the U.S. full AI stack; andcomplete, on a biannual basis for five years, an estimate of the success of exporting the U.S. full AI stack.The bill directs the Department of State toincrease efforts to eliminate foreign barriers to exporting the U.S. full AI stack;establish a diplomatic strategy outlining how the United States will address certain issues, such as communicating to foreign countries the importance and benefits of using the U.S. full AI stack to deploy AI; andstudy the benefits and impact of the global deployment of AI.The bill also requires certain reports to Congress.
