The White House Just Started An AI Task Force
The Trump administration has announced a new AI task force that will promote American artificial intelligence efforts.
The Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence, an effort of the National Science and Technology Council, was announced at a May 10 White House event. The announcement by Michael Kratsios, deputy chief technology officer and the president's deputy assistant, was thick with aspiration, describing how robotics efforts that have seen success could be used as models to spur job growth for workers hurt by automation.
A press release by the White House on "Artificial Intelligence for the American People" notes efforts the Trump administration has already made to bolster the AI industry and prioritize research and development.
Kratsios did note the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy will soon release a five-year plan to improve STEM education, including steps to grow the number of students working in AI research.
