US Solicits Comments on AI Action Plan, Including Around Export Controls

The U.S. National Science Foundation is seeking public comments as it develops an “action plan” on artificial intelligence development. The request for information, issued on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, will help “define the priority policy actions needed to sustain and enhance America's AI dominance” and remove “unnecessarily burdensome requirements” that hinder AI innovation. It specifically asks for feedback on AI “innovation and competition, intellectual property, procurement, international collaboration, and export controls,” among other areas. Comments are due March 15.
