The Institute for Family Studies recently submitted a public comment on AI in response to a request from the Trump Administration. On January 23, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order on “Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence,” which lays out the administration’s goals to achieve AI global dominance. In the order, the President outlined three main purposes of “sustain[ing] and enhanc[ing] America’s global AI dominance”: to “promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.”
Following this, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) published a formal Request for Information (RFI), calling for input from interested parties on the development of an “AI action plan” to accomplish the goals outlined above. The OSTP received almost 9,000 submissions in response the administration’s RFI, including our public comment, which we submitted on March 14.
