WASHINGTON, D.C. – December 11, 2025 – INCOMPAS, the competitive communications and AI infrastructure association, released the following statement in response to President Donald J. Trump’s executive order, “Ensuring A National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence”.
The following statement can be attributed to INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering:
“Today marks a defining moment in America’s AI future. President Trump’s executive order represents a critical step toward ensuring that America will maintain its leadership in the global AI race. The executive order follows through with what INCOMPAS has long been championing for, eliminating the fragmented patchwork of state regulations that threatens to strangle American innovation.
In particular, INCOMPAS applauds the directive in the executive order that incentivizes states to ensure the BEAD nondeployment funds aren’t wasted as a result of onerous AI laws. This provision demonstrates the strategic alignment we have long advocated for between infrastructure investment and innovation policy. The powerful incentives will create public private partnerships that have long been the cornerstone of America’s economic development. By aligning broadband infrastructure investment with sound AI policy, we can ensure that federal dollars continue to advance America’s technological leadership.
INCOMPAS and our members, who are building the infrastructure that powers AI development, look forward to working with the administration and Congress to provide the technical expertise necessary to develop the durable national framework this executive order calls for.”
