The White House has received over 10,000 public comments on its proposed artificial intelligence (AI) strategy.

A closer look at the feedback from big companies shows that several ideas came up repeatedly. Many respondents stressed that if the US wants to stay competitive in AI, it needs to improve its energy systems to support the growing number of data centers.

Some also called for a clear, open set of guidelines to help the AI industry grow while keeping people safe.

Michael Kratsios, head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), said in a statement that the large number of comments shows strong public interest in AI and supports the need for the Trump Administration’s plan to keep the US leading in this technology.

National security was one of the most frequently raised issues in the comments. Andreessen Horowitz, a major venture capital firm, wrote that AI development affects the country’s safety, economy, and social systems, and that it should be regulated through federal rules.

OpenAI also mentioned national security and pointed to China as a key competitor. According to the company, China’s ability to quickly organize resources gives it a strong advantage, especially as a government with tight control over its systems.

On April 23, President Donald Trump introduced a new plan aimed at helping students across the United States learn about AI. What's in the plan? Read the full story.
