America just took a bold, long-overdue step on AI. The Trump Administration’s Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan treats AI as a strategic national asset and sets a practical agenda to innovate, build, and lead. The Training Data Project (TDP) welcomes this direction and supports its goals.

From Plan to Progress

We commend the plan’s commitment to open-source and open-weight models, as well as its focus on world-class scientific datasets. This aligns with our mission to treat high-quality, accessible training data as a public good so AI systems are transparent, verifiable, and trusted. The plan lowers barriers by expanding access to compute and encouraging secure data sharing. Establishing national data quality standards and releasing more non-sensitive datasets will help level the field for startups and universities while strengthening safety and performance.

Proof Before Prediction

We support the plan’s emphasis on evaluations, testbeds, and research into interpretability, control, and robustness. Measure reliability and security first, then scale. This aligns with our AI Value Science approach: mission comes first, data drives performance, and ROI informs investment decisions. When evaluation results tie to mission outcomes, leaders can double down on what works and stop what does not.

Jobs You Cannot Outsource. Results You Can Measure.

Frontier AI depends on power, fiber, industrial cooling, secure facilities, and the skilled people who build and maintain them. These are American jobs that you cannot outsource. TDP does not build data centers. We help agencies and industry prove that AI creates value that sustains jobs and expands opportunity. We encourage measurement across the board. Track megawatts delivered, miles of fiber lit, cooling efficiency, uptime, mean time to repair, time to permit, trained workers placed, domestic content, and cost per unit of mission impact. Publish simple scorecards, repeat what works, and improve what does not. With clear metrics, AI investments convert into durable careers and reliable capability.

Ready to Execute

This is an action plan for winning the race. It takes all of us. Government, industry, labor, and universities can move together with clear goals, shared metrics, and steady delivery. TDP stands ready to help implement at speed. Pair infrastructure with curated datasets, rigorous evaluations, strong security, clear assurance, and cost-risk-value tracking, and America will lead proactively and on evidence. Now, let us execute and keep the nation ahead!
