Verify whether the administration has taken specific, documented actions (laws, executive orders, funding commitments, regulatory changes, export programs) that constitute 'accelerating innovation, infrastructure development, deregulation, and technology exports' for AI; identify and catalog those actions.

Source summary
The White House published a research paper titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Great Divergence" arguing that AI could drive a transformative economic change comparable to the Industrial Revolution. The paper reviews empirical estimates of AI’s effects on GDP and labor, recommends metrics to monitor rapid changes in AI investment, performance, and adoption, and describes Trump administration policies aimed at accelerating U.S. AI leadership through innovation, infrastructure, deregulation, and technology exports.
Latest fact check

Official White House policy documents and multiple executive orders show the Trump administration explicitly pursued the steps described. The administration released “Winning the AI Race: America’s AI Action Plan” (July 23, 2025) and signed EOs and fact sheets that (a) direct deregulation/review of federal and state barriers to AI (EO "Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence", Jan 23, 2025), (b) accelerate AI infrastructure (EO to accelerate federal permitting of data center infrastructure, Jul 23, 2025), and (c) create an American AI Exports Program and related export-promotion measures (EO/Fact Sheet on promoting U.S. AI exports, Jul 23, 2025). Verdict: True — these official orders and action-plan documents substantiate the claim that the administration is laying groundwork for U.S. AI dominance via innovation acceleration, infrastructure buildout, deregulation, and export promotion.
