Trump has a plan to keep America first in artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence may have been invented in the United States, but other nations, including China, Canada, and France, have made bigger moves to back and benefit from the technology in recent years. President Donald Trump will seek to change that today by signing executive order that launches the US government's own AI play. The key focuses of the "American AI Initiative" have been released ahead of time by the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The initiative is designed to boost America's AI industry by reallocating funding, creating new resources, and devising ways for the country to shape the technology even as it becomes increasingly global. However, while the goals are lofty, the details are vague.
