OSTP’s Kratsios details White House AI plans

The government wants AI to accelerate quickly in the U.S.—and it's about to take the first steps to remove as much red tape as possible, says Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios. Kratsios is at the center of AI policy in the Trump administration, and the White House is laser-focused on reshaping the rules around the technology. Kratsios said OSTP will soon ask the public and businesses to weigh in on the federal regulations that they think hold back the development and deployment of AI. This request for information is the first policy action recommended in the White House's AI action plan aimed at removing bureaucratic red tape. With Kratsios steering AI policy, Washington's new playbook is aimed squarely at clearing regulatory burdens, but the administration will have to grapple with growing state-level action.
