Guidehouse Statement on U.S. AI Action Plan Calls for Trust, Innovation, and Strategic Governance

WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 30, 2025 — Guidehouse, a global AI-led professional services firm delivering advisory, technology, and managed services to the commercial and government sectors, applauds the White House’s release of America’s AI Action Plan as a pivotal step toward securing U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence. 

We’re at a defining moment—where the combined strength of U.S. technology, energy, government, and private industry can shape a resilient, citizen-centered AI economy.  

“This isn’t just about innovation,” said John Saad, Guidehouse President. “It’s about transforming how government serves the public and ensuring America’s continued leadership in the global AI landscape. The plan’s focus on infrastructure modernization, regulatory innovation, and global competitiveness reflects Guidehouse’s mission to help clients outwit complexity and build a secure, future-ready foundation.” 

As organizations accelerate AI adoption, Guidehouse emphasizes that speed must be matched with safeguards. Trust, transparency, and accountability are essential to ensuring AI systems serve the public good. Deregulation should not come at the expense of trustworthy outcomes—especially in sectors where lives, livelihoods, and national security are at stake. 

“Innovation and governance must move in lockstep,” said Stuart Brown, Guidehouse Technology Leader. “Our clients—especially in regulated sectors—need AI that’s not just fast and scalable, but explainable, ethical, compliant, and above all, trustworthy.” 

Guidehouse continues to support commercial and government clients with full-stack AI services—from procurement and compliance to continuous oversight. In line with the Action Plan’s call for structured public-private collaboration, Guidehouse advocates for a national AI ecosystem that ensures systems are bias-mitigated, privacy-protected, and audit-ready before deployment in critical domains. 

The firm also supports the plan’s recommendations to: 

• Establish regulatory sandboxes and fast-track procurement pathways to accelerate safe AI deployment; 
• Mobilize shared infrastructure and high-quality data to fuel innovation; 
• Launch a national AI Production Board to coordinate public-private investment and workforce development; 
• Promote U.S.-led global AI governance frameworks that uphold democratic values and economic freedom. 

Guidehouse is committed to helping organizations operationalize these priorities—ensuring AI delivers measurable value while protecting the public interest. We believe this is a rare convergence of public and private capability that can shape a secure, resilient, and citizen-first AI economy for generations to come. 

This commitment builds on Guidehouse’s $1.5 billion AI investment to advance agentic AI, launch an AI Center of Excellence, and accelerate AI-readiness across clients and teams to ensure innovation scales with trust and impact.
