From the Center for Strategic and International Studies, an important event, Unpacking the White House AI Action Plan with OSTP Director Michael Kratsios.
This event offers a glimpse of the cognitive cages within which high officials of the Trump Administration mean to manage, for the rest of us, AI policy, development, and internationalization. For my own earlier reflections on the administration's proposed approach see: Liberal Democratic Leninism in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Tech Driven Social Progress: Remarks by Director Kratsios at the Endless Frontiers Retreat and "The Golden Age of American Innovation"; my reflections on the US AI Action plan here: "Winning the Race: America's AI Action Plan" (July 2025)--A Reverie on Building and Racing on A.I.'s Structural "Fury Road"

On July 23, 2025, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) published the long-awaited AI Action Plan. This roadmap policy, mandated by President Trump’s January executive order titled “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence”, outlines policy priorities to enhance the U.S.’s position as a global AI leader.
On July 30, 2025, the CSIS Wadhwani AI Center is pleased to host Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House OSTP, for a public, in-person fireside chat. Mr. Kratsios will join Wadhwani AI Center Senior Adviser Gregory C. Allen to break down the AI Action Plan and discuss the Trump administration’s vision for U.S. AI leadership and innovation amid strategic competition with China.
As the thirteenth Director of the White House OSTP, Mr. Kratsios oversees the development and execution of the nation’s science and technology policy agenda. He leads the Trump administration’s efforts to ensure American leadership in scientific discovery and technological innovation, including in critical and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology. In the first Trump administration, he served as the fourth Chief Technology Officer of the United States at the White House and as Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering at the Pentagon.
This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
