The White House released its vision for artificial intelligence policy 23 July with a heavy focus on breaking down barriers to the technology’s innovation and adoption, including another attempt to stop states from enacting their own AI regulation.

The 28-page "America’s AI Action Plan" stems from President Donald Trump's January executive order on AI and is part of a marked tone shift toward policy aimed at fostering U.S. AI dominance in the face of fierce competition from China. Trump directed agencies to come up with a plan after extensive public comment from academia, civil society and industry. Additional executive orders putting some of the plan's points into action are expected, Reuters reports.
