The United States is a global leader in AI innovation, with significant economic and military advantages. However, the surge in AI patents filed by China highlights the need for the US to accelerate research efforts. Key AI research and development priorities include clarifying terminology, developing scientific understanding, and establishing AI standards reflecting US values.
From the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
1. **Significant Global AI Competition**: The United States currently enjoys a significant advantage in AI but must recognize the aggressive push by foreign competitors, especially China, to dominate AI advancement.
2. **Research and Development Priorities**: The U.S. federal government should focus on three strategic AI research and development priorities:
– Clarifying the Definitions of Key AI-Related Terms,
– Developing a Scientific Understanding of AI, and
– Developing AI Standards Adhering to US Mission and Values.
3. **Legislative Measures and Coordination**: Congress must consider targeted legislative measures while empowering federal agencies to facilitate coordination, promote public-private partnerships, and set actionable research and development priorities.
4. **National Security and Cyber Resilience**: These priorities are crucial for maintaining the country’s leadership in AI and meeting national security and cyber resilience imperatives.
