# White House AI Action Plan
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The White House "America's AI Action Plan" is a policy framework released July 23, 2025, authored by OSTP Director Michael Kratsios, AI/Crypto Advisor David Sacks, and NSA/Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The plan frames AI policy primarily through national security and competitiveness against China.
|
|
|
|
## Key Components
|
|
|
|
**Biosecurity Measures:**
|
|
- Requires federally funded institutions to use nucleic acid synthesis providers with robust screening
|
|
- Directs OSTP to convene data-sharing mechanism for screening fraudulent/malicious customers
|
|
- Reinforces CAISI's role in evaluating frontier AI for national security risks including bio risks
|
|
- Explicitly acknowledges AI could create "new pathways for malicious actors to synthesize harmful pathogens"
|
|
|
|
**Governance Approach:**
|
|
- Addresses biosecurity as a "screening problem" (filtering synthesis orders) rather than "oversight problem" (research review)
|
|
- Does not address DURC/PEPP institutional review committee replacement despite September 2025 deadline
|
|
- Substitutes screening-based biosecurity governance for institutional oversight governance
|
|
|
|
## Institutional Authority
|
|
|
|
The plan's authorship signals a shift in biosecurity governance authority from science agencies (HHS/OSTP) to national security apparatus (NSA/State). Rubio's co-authorship in his NSA/Secretary of State capacity—not a science role—indicates the AI Action Plan is fundamentally a national security document that appropriates science policy.
