Trump administration seeks input on AI Action Plan
@Source: upi.com
Feb. 25 (UPI) -- A national AI Action Plan is being created to ensure the United States leads the work in artificial intelligence and innovation, and the Trump administration wants public input to help guide it. "The Trump administration is committed to ensuring the United States is the undeniable leader in AI technology," Lynne Parker, principal deputy director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, said Tuesday in a White House announcement. "This AI Action Plan is the first step in securing and advancing American AI dominance," Parker said. "We look forward to incorporating the public's comments and innovative ideas." President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order to create an AI Action Plan to "sustain and enhance America's global AI dominance," according to the online announcement. The action plan will define priority policy actions that are intended to prevent burdensome regulations and avoid hindering innovation within the private sector to "enhance America's position as an AI powerhouse," according to the White House announcement. Interested public parties, including those in academia, industry groups, private sector organizations, state, local and tribal governments, and others are welcome to submit comments online through March 15. The request for input comes two weeks after officials in the United States and Britain declined to sign on to a communique calling for an "inclusive and sustainable" AI during the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris. Representatives of the European Union, China and India were among 70 signatories that signed on to the communique, but Vice President JD Vance during the summit said U.S. officials favor less AI regulation while supporting growth. Representatives of many tech firms in the United States have cited EU regulations as stifling AI innovation in Europe. "We want to embark on the AI revolution before us with the spirit of openness and collaboration," Vance said while in Paris. He said international regulatory regimes that "foster creation" are important to "create the kind of trust we need" to enable continued AI innovation. Vance said European technology leaders should focus their efforts on embracing AI and what it could do instead of worrying about potential threats from it. Prior to being sworn in as president, Trump in December named venture capitalist David Sacks as his choice to guide his administration in AI and cryptocurrency policy. Sacks is an associate of Department of Government Efficiency director and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.
