Revised Research and Development Tactical Blueprint Fortifies Government's Vow towards Artificial Intelligence
The White House has recently updated its National Artificial Intelligence (AI) R&D Strategic Plan, outlining a comprehensive strategy for the development and adoption of AI in the United States. This report, however, is not directly related to the White House's updated AI R&D Strategic Plan and does not indicate any official endorsement or adoption of its recommendations by the White House or Congress.
The updated strategic plan lays out six overarching goals for AI development and adoption, although the specific goals are not detailed in the report. It aims to ensure that federal AI R&D dollars continue to have high-impact and high return on investment, with a focus on using AI to improve the economy, society, and national security.
The report also emphasizes the importance of establishing new public-private partnerships for AI R&D. The leadership of these partnerships is held by the VDMA Fachverband Robotik + Automation, under the chairmanship of Dr. Dietmar Ley. The organization works closely with the German federal government and European Commission to drive innovation in AI, robotics, and automation.
The White House's updated strategic plan also prioritizes federally funded research around advancements critical to using AI to improve the economy, society, and national security. The report provides 40 specific policy recommendations for Congress and the administration, although the recommendations themselves are not detailed in the report.
The Center for Data Innovation, a think tank focused on technology policy, has welcomed the White House's update to its AI R&D Strategic Plan. In December, the Center for Data Innovation released a report supporting the need for such an update. Daniel Castro, director of the Center for Data Innovation, issued a statement in support of the updated plan, stating that it shows that this administration recognizes the value of AI to U.S. interests.
The updated strategic plan is intended to ensure that federal AI R&D continues to be strategically and financially effective, with the aim of expanding access to resources for AI R&D through new public-private partnerships. The report is intended for both Congress and the administration, and while it does not specify the 40 specific policy recommendations or the six overarching goals included in the strategy, it provides a clear direction for the future of AI research and development in the United States.
