WASHINGTON, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The AI Innovation Council (AIC) officially launched today as an independent forum dedicated to promoting America First Artificial Intelligence. Part of creating America’s golden age is ensuring the United States remains the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, policy, and strategic development. With nations like China investing billions to become AI superpowers, the AIC is focused on safeguarding American global dominance in AI.
Founded by James Burnham, a former senior White House and DOJ official, the former General Counsel at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and a former clerk to Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Council will bring together leaders across law, technology, business, and defense with one mission: to promote America First AI.
“Artificial intelligence is a revolutionary technology with the potential to make the United States wealthier and greater than it has ever been,” said Burnham. “That’s why President Trump made clear in his first week back in office that ‘the policy of the United States is to sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.’ I have been as outspoken as anyone about the problems of Big Tech and monopoly power, but it’s a major mistake to let legitimate concerns about past abuses block new innovators from propelling our nation into a new golden age.”
The AIC advocates for sensible regulatory frameworks that will achieve America First AI by striking a balance between oversight and opportunity—empowering new entrepreneurs and established companies to develop world-changing AI products—and, most importantly, to do so in the United States. The AIC emphasizes that innovation is the lifeblood of national prosperity and security in the AI era.
“The goal isn’t just to win the innovation race,” Burnham added. “It’s to help launch America’s golden age.”
