What Trump's Executive Order on AI Is Missing

President Trump signed an executive order on February 11 meant to shore up our competitive position in the international race for AI supremacy, but it is short on concrete steps. As the CEO of an artificial intelligence research institute, I am calling on him to include a special visa program for AI students and experts to help us win this race for the sake of both economic vitality and national security. In 2017, China announced its intent to "become the world's premier artificial intelligence innovation center" by 2030. One of our greatest advantages over China and other nations has been our ability to attract and retain the very best students from around the world. Yet, the Trump administration's increasingly restrictive immigration policies are systematically depriving our universities of some of the world's top talent.
