The White House is inviting public participation in shaping the nation's artificial intelligence future. Citizens are encouraged to submit their policy ideas for the administration's AI Action Plan by March 15th. This initiative aims to solidify the United States as a global leader in AI technology and innovation.
This action follows President Trump's recent executive order on artificial intelligence, reaffirming his commitment to American dominance in the field. The order directs the development of a comprehensive AI Action Plan, and public input is considered crucial for its success.
Lynne Parker, Principal Deputy Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, emphasized the administration's dedication to fostering American leadership in AI. She stated that the AI Action Plan is a critical first step in achieving this goal and welcomed public comments and innovative suggestions.
Interested parties from various sectors, including academia, industry, private organizations, and government entities at all levels, are encouraged to submit their proposals via the Federal Register’s website. The White House seeks diverse perspectives to ensure a robust and comprehensive plan.
The AI Action Plan will prioritize policy actions designed to strengthen America's position in AI while avoiding unnecessary regulations that could stifle private sector innovation. The administration believes that appropriate government policies coupled with continued American leadership in AI will promote economic competitiveness, national security, and overall human well-being.
This renewed focus on AI builds upon President Trump's previous actions, including a 2019 executive order on artificial intelligence and a 2020 initiative to guide federal agencies in adopting AI for public services. The administration emphasizes that its AI strategy is grounded in principles of free speech and human flourishing.
This renewed emphasis on AI comes after the Trump administration revoked a previous executive order from the Biden administration, arguing it hindered innovation and imposed excessive government control. The current administration's stance is that AI development in the U.S. should be free from ideological bias and engineered social agendas.
