The Department of Commerce is establishing a first-of-its-kind government National AI Center to serve as the primary national gateway for American AI companies to engage with the U.S. Government for exporting U.S. AI technologies globally. The National AI Center will focus on accelerating U.S. AI exports by giving companies a clear, unified entry point to government resources and international market support.

On-site AI commercialization and export experts from the Department of Commerce’s Commercial Service will work as part of an integrated American AI exports team, including dedicated AI export professionals based in cities across America and Foreign Commercial Service officers around the world, to facilitate connections between interested U.S. companies and trusted foreign buyers.

Situated where the world’s leading AI companies, researchers, and investors are already concentrated, the National AI Center in San Francisco, CA will give Commerce direct, real-time access to the technology companies shaping the future of economic competitiveness, national security, and global leadership.

These initiatives implement President Trump’s AI Action Plan – a roadmap for America to win globally in AI by accelerating innovation, building AI infrastructure, and leading in international diplomacy and security. The Department of Commerce’s American AI Exports Program and National AI Center reflect the Trump Administration’s unwavering commitment to ensuring the United States remains the world leader in trustworthy, cutting-edge AI.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
