Intel’s Recommendations for the U.S. National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence

February 11, 2019

Nations that invest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) stand to gain tremendous advantages across industry, government and society at large. On February 11, 2019 the White House issued an Executive Order on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence1 (the Executive Order). The Executive Order is an important first step in acknowledging the importance of U.S. leadership in AI. It’s time for the U.S. to bet big on AI by building on the Executive Order to expand a National AI Strategy that includes specific measures to support and promote AI development and deployment. A comprehensive national AI strategy would earmark funding and resources for AI research and development, outline clear goals and accountability mechanisms, identify and remove barriers, drive public and private development and adoption of AI, and outline a program to mitigate negative or unintended consequences. A national strategy building on the aims of the Executive Order will facilitate and focus current U.S. efforts, paving the way for the future of AI.
