Inside the U.S. Strategy to Lead the AI Economy

The United States new artificial intelligence framework outlines how policy, innovation, and partnerships are shaping the next phase of the AI economy CHARVI ARORA As governments around the world race to shape the future of artificial intelligence (AI), the United States is positioning itself as a major destination for AI investment, development, and commercialization. In March 2026, President Donald J. Trump announced aNational Policy Framework for AI, outlining U.S. priorities on innovation, regulation, and economic growth. According to theForeign Commercial Service (FCS), the trade promotion arm of the U.S. Department of Commerces International Trade Administration, the framework reinforces the United States leadership in AI, with a focus on innovation, competitiveness, and responsible deployment. An FCS official adds that it provides clear policy direction for industry and signals continuity in the U.S. approach to supporting AI development and commercialization. For global businesses and investors, the framework also signals how international partners can engage with the U.S. AI market as the United Statesseeksto expand its leadership in emerging technologies. In India, the FCSoperatesin New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai, working with partners to strengthen commercial engagement and deepen U.S.-India economic ties. Turning policy into action The framework builds on earlier efforts to gather industry input and shape implementation. In combination with the Request for Information (RFI) issued in October 2025 and the Call for Proposals (CFP) launched in April 2026 under the AI Exports Program, the framework reflects a phased effort to engage industry and translate policy goals into real-world actions, the FCS official explains. The official adds that the approach is also intended to create greater clarity for companies looking to engage with the U.S. market. A more streamlined U.S. approach to AI policy provides greater clarity and predictability for companies engaging with the U.S. market, helping create a stableenvironment for investment, entry, and expansion. It would also encourage deeper commercial engagement with U.S. industry, including participation in technology partnerships and collaboration. Competing for global AI capital The framework is also designed to encourage investment and expansion in the United States. Greater policy coherence across these initiatives provides clear signals on U.S. priorities in AI. This supports confident investment decisions, fast innovation cycles, and strong incentives for companies considering expansion or scaling in the United States as a global hub for AI development and commercialization, the official says. Broader U.S. government initiatives are also aimed at helping companiesidentifybusiness opportunities in the United States. Through the U.S. Department of Commerce and its investment promotion program SelectUSA, global firms can access market intelligence, connect with state and local investment agencies, and explore opportunities across federal, state, and local levels. Since itsinception, SelectUSA hasfacilitatedmore than $400 billion in investment and supported over 270,000 U.S. jobs. The U.S. AIadvantage The framework highlights two long-standing strengths of the U.S. technology sector: intellectual property protections and access to skilled talent. Strong intellectual property protections and a talent base remain foundational strengths of the U.S. innovation ecosystem. Together, they support investment in research and development, enable commercialisation of advanced technologies, and ensure companies have access to a highly skilled workforce needed to scale AI innovation, the official says. The broader policy conversation also includes emerging issues such as AI-generated content, copyright, and digital replicas, as governments and courts continue to grapple with how existing laws apply to rapidly evolving AI technologies. BuildingglobalAI partnerships Beyond investment and innovation, the framework also signals how the United States wants to deepen international AI collaboration. For global partners, including India, the AI Exports Program reflects what the FCSofficial describes as a structured approach to engaging industry in U.S.-led AI innovation. The progression from the RFI (Request for Information) to the CFP (Call for Proposals) under the AI Exports Program creates pathways for international companies to engage with U.S. industry through consortium-based models and contribute to the development and deployment of full-stack AI solutions with global applications, the official explains. Looking ahead, the official notes that as the framework moves toward implementation, stakeholders should follow legislative and regulatory outcomes and how the AI Exports Program evolves in practice. Key areas include consortium formation, export facilitation mechanisms, and the development of standards and compliance expectations that will shape participation in U.S.-led AI ecosystems.

The 37-year-old Kohli, regarded as one of the most accomplished batsmen of his generation, is a hero to hundreds of millions of Indian fans.

IPL 2026: Punjab Can Use Harpreet Brar Against RCB, Says Sanjay Bangar

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar believes Punjab Kings (PBKS) should consider bringing back spinner Harpreet Brar for their upcoming clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after the sides narrow defeat to Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2026 clash at Dharamshala. Punjab Kings suffered a heartbreaking loss despite posting 200/8, as Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball to spare. Tilak Varma starred with an unbeaten 75, while Ryan Rickelton provided a quick start with 48 off 23 balls. Looking ahead to Punjabs next match against table-toppers RCB, Bangar said the afternoon conditions could help the team use two spinners effectively and bring Harpreet Brar back into the playing XI. I think Punjab Kings will have the opportunity to use Harpreet Brar because he has always been a quality performer, especially against RCB, Bangar told Jio Hotstar. The former India batting coach, who has also worked with RCB in the IPL, added that Brar has historically troubled Bengalurus batting line-up. Having been part of RCB myself, I know he has troubled several of their batters over the years, he added. Bangar felt Punjab have already tried most of their pace-bowling combinations this season and should now look towards spin as a better option to control opposition batters. It helps that the next game against RCB is a day game because Punjab can use two spinners. So far, they have explored almost all their pace-bowling options, so perhaps it is time to go back to spin and hope that becomes an effective way of containing teams, he said. Bangar also reflected on the Mumbai Indians successful chase and pointed out that Punjab still had control of the game despite slow innings from Rohit Sharma and Sherfane Rutherford. Shreyas Iyer used only five bowlers in this game, and there was always going to be a point when the batters targeted Bartlett. Chahal and Arshdeep had bowled extremely well until then. In a way, Punjab Kings took away their own advantage, Bangar explained. He also praised Tilak Varma for carrying Mumbais chase under pressure.

'We Were Like A Group Of Friends': Kohli Reflects On Indias Golden Test Era As Captain

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli has reflected on his memorable stint as Indias Test captain, calling it a 'golden era' where players grew together as friends and collectively took responsibility for building a successful team. Speaking in a Royal Challengers Bengaluru podcast, Kohli said one of the biggest strengths of that Indian Test side was the bond shared by the core group of players. He explained that there was very little age difference between senior members of the team, which helped create a comfortable and united dressing-room atmosphere. The most important thing was our average age. There was no hesitation between seniors and juniors. We were like a group of friends, Kohli said. Kohli mentioned that players such as Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja were all in their twenties when they started playing together regularly for India. According to him, that closeness allowed everyone to speak freely and contribute towards the teams growth. The former India captain also said leadership responsibilities were shared among the entire squad and not restricted to only the captain or support staff. It was not like a few people would take care of everything. Everyone felt they had a role in building the team for the next six to eight years, he added. Kohli explained that this sense of responsibility pushed players to constantly improve themselves and maintain high standards, which eventually helped India become one of the strongest Test sides in the world. The batting stalwart took over as Indias Test captain during the 2014 tour of Australia after MS Dhoni stepped down from the format. He went on to become Indias most successful Test captain with 40 wins in 68 matches. Kohli explained that this sense of responsibility pushed players to constantly improve themselves and maintain high standards, which eventually helped India become one of the strongest Test sides in the world.

'Thankful To Experience This Before I Stopped Playing': Kohli On RCB Winning IPL

Indian Premier League: India's charismatic batter Virat Kohli believes that finally winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) title with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) before the end of his career was one of the most emotional and fulfilling moments of his cricketing journey. Reflecting on the franchise's historic triumph in the RCB podcast, Kohli admitted the overwhelming emotions were impossible to describe after the franchise ended its 18-year-long wait to hold the iconic trophy. All those emotions, all those feelings came out in a form of just being on my knees and just holding my hands and saying, thank you. That I could experience this before I stopped playing, Kohli said. Former RCB captain was visibly emotional after the team won their maiden title by beating Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. Kohli, who is representing the franchise since 2008 and also captained the side, said that the journey of near misses and heartbreaks has made the victory more meaningful. I still say it's very difficult to explain to people in words how I felt in the last four balls of the last over. When you see from the outside what has happened to the franchise, how RCB has been looked at for so many years... as a big team, big franchise that's never won - the almost champions, the ones that have come close but never really won the trophy. And for that pressure to build over so many years, like season after season. There's one thing to observe it, and there's one thing to live it. And I have lived through all of those seasons, he added. Kohli, however, acknowledged that he would not have lived with regret if RCB failed to clinch the trophy, but there would always be a thought of missing the experience of a lifetime. Although I wouldn't have carried on regretting it. But there would have been a part of me that would have wondered, you know, what it would have felt like to experience that moment, he said. The 37-year-old also believes that the prolonged wait to lift the trophy with the franchise he has given everything amplified the joy of being the champions. Although I wouldn't have carried on regretting it. But there would have been a part of me that would have wondered, you know, what it would have felt like to experience that moment, he said.

'Uncomplicated Consistency Backed With Tremendous Belief': Kohli Hails Bhuvi's Simplicity Behind IPL Success

Indian Premier League: Virat Kohli believes Bhuvneshwar Kumars remarkable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is proof that consistency, belief, and technical mastery can still dominate modern T20 cricket. According to Kohli, Bhuvneshwars success is not built on magic deliveries or extravagant swing, but on repeatedly executing one difficult length and daring batters to challenge him. What is Bhuvi doing? He is not bowling banana inswingers, banana outswingers. He is bowling at a length that tells the guys that I am good enough to hit the length every time. It is the most difficult length to hit, and I am just gonna keep hitting those lengths. Are you good enough to take me on or not? Kohli said on RCBs podcast. At 36, Bhuvneshwar has turned back the clock in spectacular fashion. With 22 wickets already this season, the RCB pacer currently leads the wicket-taking charts and has become one of the biggest reasons behind Bengalurus rise to the top of the IPL 2026 points table. Kohli explained that Bhuvneshwars performances are a result of repetition, execution, and unwavering consistency rather than flashy variations. According to the former RCB captain, the veteran pacer has mastered the art of bowling difficult Test-match lengths in T20 cricket, something that continues to trouble even the most aggressive batters. Its simple stuff. Its repetition, its execution, uncomplicated consistency backed with tremendous belief. Thats all he is doing. Look at the results. He has six three-wicket hauls in 11 matches. Thats crazy, Kohli added. The batting great also stressed the importance of a technical foundation in helping players survive difficult phases in their careers. Kohli said players with strong basics always find ways to adapt and bounce back, and Bhuvneshwar is a perfect example of that. Its simple stuff. Its repetition, its execution, uncomplicated consistency backed with tremendous belief. Thats all he is doing. Look at the results. He has six three-wicket hauls in 11 matches. Thats crazy, Kohli added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Bhuvneshwars outstanding form has played a major role in RCBs impressive IPL 2026 campaign.

Our Destiny Is Still In Our Hands: Brad Haddin Stays Positive On PBKS Playoff Chances

After Punjab Kings: After Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered their fifth consecutive loss after going down to Mumbai Indians, assistant coach Brad Haddin showed full faith in the squad and emphasised that the teams path to the playoffs remains within their control. After a strong start, and despite losing wickets in quick succession in the middle, the Kings staged a remarkable recovery to reach a total of 200/8. The lower order took the attack to the opposition, ensuring the side was right in the contest until the very last over. While Mumbai Indians managed to chase the target with just one ball to spare, the depth shown by the Kings' batting unit remains a key positive heading into the final two league games. Despite a narrow result that didn't go their waymarking the side's fifth consecutive lossthe team remains in a competitive position, currently sitting in fourth place with 13 points as the race for the playoffs intensifies. The one thing to come out of it is weve got two games of cricket left and our destiny is still in our hands. Now theres no tomorrow; theres no talking about anything else. We have to win our remaining games now, and thats as simple as it is. Well assess this quickly and get our heads around playing a day game here in a couple of days' time, Haddin said in a post-match presser. He also highlighted the teams ability to post a high total and credited the opposition for a standout individual performance. I thought we did really well to get to the total we did. Mumbai bowled well early, but we had some really good hitting in the back end of the game to get us to what we thought was a really good total. We felt like we were in control for a long time, but it took a pretty special knock from Tilak (Varma) to get Mumbai home. That was a special innings and you have to give credit to that. Haddin spoke candidly about the atmosphere in the camp and the pressure that comes with the business end of the tournament. The whole tournament is pressure the whole time, and especially at this stage, this is what IPL cricket is about. Youve got to be able to handle the big moments and handle the pressure. The result is hurting and the change room is hurting in there, but there are good signs out of tonights match. Its important now that we respond well. Discussing the tactical side of the game, Haddin expressed and noted how much the scoring standards have shifted this season. Weve got a lot of confidence in every player in our squad. What you do see in this tournament now is some unbelievable powerits different to what were used to.

IPL 2026: 'A Tough Pill To Swallow,' Says Shreyas Iyer After Punjab Kings Defeat To Mumbai Indians

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Shreyas Iyer described Punjab Kings narrow defeat against the Mumbai Indians as a tough pill to swallow after his side failed to defend a 200-run total in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 contest at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Punjab Kings looked in control after posting 200/8, with Prabhsimran Singh scoring a rapid 57 and Azmatullah Omarzai providing a crucial late push with 38 off just 17 balls. However, the Mumbai Indians chased down the target with one ball remaining, powered by Tilak Varmas unbeaten 75 and an explosive start from Ryan Rickelton. The defeat left Punjab disappointed, especially after recovering strongly in the final overs to cross the 200-run mark following a middle-order collapse. Well, absolutely a tough pill to swallow, but I don't want to pinpoint any situation over here because it was a great game of cricket. Well fought game, Shreyas said after the match. The Punjab skipper reserved special praise for Tilak Varma, whose calm and aggressive approach under pressure turned the chase in Mumbais favour. He played amazingly, he was selecting his shots pretty well, and he manoeuvred the field nicely, so credit to him, he added. Punjab were struggling at one stage and appeared set for a total around 170-180 before Omarzais late counterattack changed the momentum completely. The Afghan all-rounder smashed four sixes in his quick cameo to lift Punjab to 200. Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us. Getting those scoops of sixes, and from 16th or 17th over, from there on, we gained the momentum, and getting to 200 was a commendable performance for him, Shreyas said. Despite the loss, the Punjab captain remained optimistic about the teams chances in the remaining league matches, including the upcoming afternoon clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us.
