AI is not merely a scientific achievement; it represents a new way of fostering breakthroughs. We’re already witnessing how AI has the potential to transform healthcare, speed up scientific innovation, and enhance our economy in positive ways. The responsibility now falls on us to capitalize on this opportunity, which requires appropriate policy frameworks to secure America's status as a leader in AI and to foster a new wave of possibilities. In our response to the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Request for Information, we outline some recommendations: **Invest in AI. ** Both federal and local governments should collaborate on policy reforms that address rising energy demands, crucial for expanding AI infrastructure. We also need export controls that safeguard national security while allowing America to export and deliver AI services globally. American researchers require access to computational resources, which calls for building advanced partnerships with national laboratories. Additionally, the federal government should adopt policy frameworks that ensure access to data for equitable learning, advance a risk-based strategy for AI applications in line with existing regulations, and avoid a fragmented patchwork of state-level rules governing cutting-edge AI development. **Accelerate and modernize government AI adoption. ** The government should take the lead in implementing AI, showcasing best practices in adoption and deployment.

This includes introducing multi-vendor, interoperable AI solutions and simplifying the procurement process for AI and other emerging technologies. **Promote pro-innovation approaches internationally. ** The federal government ought to advocate for market-driven, widely accepted technical standards, leveraging the Commerce Department’s prominent role with the International Standards Organization and other standard-setting entities. In collaboration with industry partners and like-minded nations, we should establish protocols and benchmarks addressing the potential risks associated with advanced AI systems. Furthermore, the Administration can bolster American AI leadership by addressing and counteracting restrictive foreign AI policies.
