Here’s what the new report from the White House means for software supply chain leaders, and how you can get ahead.
July 30, 2025
The White House released America's AI Action Plan, a 28‑page roadmap for how the United States government wants AI built, shipped, and secured. If you design, ship, or operate software that relies on AI, treat the document as an 18‑month early‑warning system. It is not a regulatory text; it is directional guidance for federal agencies, but history suggests those agencies will lift entire paragraphs from it when they update their rules. While the specifics will come over the coming months, you can get a head start now.
A lot of people treat AI as entirely separate from traditional software. Their compliance efforts, if any, have an entirely different rigor about them, I don't mean different as in better. I mean different as in entirely different. As I talk to folks, a lot of them are not prepared to head in the direction that America’s AI Action Plan calls for.
Thankfully, it’s straightforward to get started if you treat AI models similar to your other software. The best practices for provenance, dependency management, signing, and so on apply to AI models just as much as they do to your SaaS application. The table below has five basic steps you can take to get ready over the next few months.
The five steps above are a great start to complying with whatever final regulations and policies that come from America’s AI Action Plan. With Kusari’s products built from our deep expertise in software supply chain security, you can be proactive instead of reactive.
