The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a plan for federal engagement in the development of AI technical standards and related tools. This is in response to President Trump's Executive Order on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to drive growth of the United States economy, enhance our economic and national security, and improve our quality of life. The United States is the world leader in AI research and development (R&D) and deployment. Continued American leadership in AI is of paramount importance to maintaining the economic and national security of the United States and to shaping the global evolution of AI in a manner consistent with our Nation's values, policies, and priorities. The Federal Government plays an important role in facilitating AI R&D, promoting the trust of the American people in the development and deployment of AI-related technologies, training a workforce capable of using AI in their occupations, and protecting the American AI technology base from attempted acquisition by strategic competitors and adversarial nations. Maintaining American leadership in AI requires a concerted effort to promote advancements in technology and innovation, while protecting American technology, economic and national security, civil liberties, privacy, and American values and enhancing international and industry collaboration with foreign partners and allies. Artificial Intelligence will affect the missions of nearly all executive departments and agencies (agencies).

Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at the battle for dominance between the US and China. On February 11, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence. The document stresses the importance of AI in propelling the US economy and cites current American global leadership in terms of R&D and deployment of AI as justifications for ramping up federal government commitments to promote the technology. Though it is not explicitly mentioned in the document, many commentators felt that the growing rivalry with China in the AI space influenced the President's executive order. Rob Verger, writing for Popular Science, captured the impression of those commentators when he observed: "Competition with China is a big part of the subtext to this announcement..." Some US AI companies were quick to respond.
