The National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC) has released a draft report outlining key AI policy priorities and recommendations for President Donald Trump’s administration. The report, which serves as an initial roadmap for AI governance and innovation in the United States, highlights ten focus areas ranging from workforce development to AI governance and national security.
The NAIAC, established under the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020, is tasked with advising the President and the White House on AI-related matters. The committee’s report aligns with the AI priorities of the previous Trump administration and builds upon ongoing initiatives to maintain U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.
One of the report’s top priorities is addressing AI’s impact on jobs and the workforce. It calls for coordinated federal, state, and local collaboration on AI-driven workforce shifts, including hosting an intergovernmental summit on AI and American prosperity. The committee also suggests streamlining worker support programs for those affected by AI-related disruptions, emphasizing skill development and job transitions.
The report stresses the need for a national AI literacy campaign to combat misinformation and increase public understanding of AI technologies. It proposes a White House-hosted AI Literacy Summit and the expansion of AI education programs in schools. The committee also recommends launching “Education Hackathons” to encourage innovation in AI-powered learning tools.
To enhance AI’s role in scientific research, NAIAC proposes a funding strategy that evaluates AI investments across federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy. It also recommends strengthening AI’s application in healthcare by creating a federal subcommittee focused on responsible AI use in medical research and patient care.
The report highlights the inefficiencies of the U.S. healthcare system and suggests reconstituting a Federal Health Information Technology Task Force to improve administrative processes and reduce costs through AI integration.
A major theme of the report is AI governance. NAIAC recommends increased investment in AI safety and security, including supporting the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the AI Safety Institute. It calls for the U.S. to take a leadership role in international AI governance discussions, aligning with global AI policies and regulatory efforts.
To ensure responsible AI deployment in government, the committee advises fully staffing and resourcing the National AI Initiative Office and creating a standardized AI model evaluation framework, modeled after the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program.
Recognizing AI’s growing role in national security, NAIAC emphasizes the need for a coordinated federal response to AI-driven threats. It calls for a White House-led task force to address AI-enhanced cyber threats, identity fraud, and misinformation campaigns.
NAIAC’s report serves as a foundational document for the Trump administration’s AI agenda. The committee expresses its commitment to working closely with federal agencies to ensure the responsible and strategic development of AI technologies that align with U.S. economic, security, and societal goals.
