I appreciate the opportunity to provide comments related to the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)’s Request for Information on “the Development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan.” These comments do not represent the views of any party or special interest group but are intended to assist the OSTP as the agency formulates administration AI policy.

In the service of the administration’s emphasis on continued AI innovation, I seek to emphasize two key points:

  1. Efforts to combat AI ideological bias could stifle necessary industry experimentation and innovation and should be avoided. As an alternative, administration policy should oppose government-imposed ideological bias.
  2. New tariffs challenge the administration’s stated goal of “American AI leadership.” To avoid industry-limiting cost increases and supply constraints, the administration is strongly encouraged to rethink the current tariff strategy.
