Comments received in Response To Request for Information on the Development of a 2025 National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research and Development (R&D) Strategic Plan

(June 11, 2025)

On behalf of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) National Coordination Office (NCO) published a Request for Information (RFI) on April 29, 2025 (closed May 29, 2025). The RFI welcomed input from all interested parties on how the previous administration’s National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan (2023 Update) can be rewritten to secure the United States position as the unrivaled world leader in AI. The new strategic plan will map out federal R&D over the next 3-5 years to accelerate AI-driven innovation, enhance U.S. economic and national security, promote human flourishing, and maintain U.S. dominance in AI. Through this RFI, the NITRD NCO encouraged the contribution of ideas from the public, including AI researchers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders directly engaged in or affected by AI R&D. Responses previously submitted to the RFI on the Development of the AI Action Plan will also be considered in updating the National AI R&D Strategic Plan. This page includes 332 responses that were responsive to the RFI.

Comments Received in Response to: Request for Information on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan (“Plan”)

(April 24, 2025)

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) via the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) National Coordination Office (NCO) and the National Science Foundation, published a Request for Information (RFI) on February 6, 2025, to obtain public input from all interested parties on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan (“Action Plan”). This Action Plan, as directed by a Presidential Executive Order (Executive Order 14179) on January 23, 2025, will help define the priority policy actions needed to sustain and enhance America’s AI dominance, and to ensure that unnecessarily burdensome requirements do not hamper private sector AI innovation. Through this RFI, OSTP and NITRD NCO sought input from the public, including from academia, industry groups, private sector organizations, state, local, and tribal governments, and any other interested parties, on priority actions that should be included in the Plan. The RFI comment period ended on March 15, 2025. This page includes 10,068 responses that were responsive to this RFI.

Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights: Making Automated Systems Work for the American People

(October 4, 2022)

The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights is a guide for a society that protects all people from these threats—and uses technologies in ways that reinforce our highest values. Responding to the experiences of the American public, and informed by insights from researchers, technologists, advocates, journalists, and policymakers, this framework is accompanied by From Principles to Practice—a handbook for anyone seeking to incorporate these protections into policy and practice, including detailed steps toward actualizing these principles in the technological design process. These principles help provide guidance whenever automated systems can meaningfully impact the public’s rights, opportunities, or access to critical needs.
