The executive order establishes a policy for the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States, with the goal of maintaining global leadership in AI and promoting human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security. The order revokes existing policies and directives that were seen as barriers to American AI innovation.
The order requires the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, along with other officials, to develop an action plan within 180 days to achieve the policy set forth in the order. The action plan must be submitted to the President and will guide efforts to enhance America’s global AI dominance.
