Artificial Intelligence

The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about a new era of technology and the potential to revolutionize industries, increase productivity, and to improve the quality of life for people across the world.

AI can play a vital role in healthcare by enabling the early detection of diseases, providing personal treatment options, and improving patient outcomes. In finance, AI can aid in detecting fraudulent activities, managing risks, and providing customized investment advice. In education, AI can personalize learning for individual students by assessing their strengths and weaknesses and adapting curricula to meet their needs. And in agriculture, it can help farmers make data-driven decisions to optimize crop yields, reduce carbon footprints, and increase efficiency.

NTIA is working to help push forward U.S. AI dominance through the lens of innovation to ensure that AI systems work as intended, that there is the requisite infrastructure for broad AI adoption, and that AI systems are secure. NTIA is the President’s principal advisor on information technology and telecommunications policy. In this role, the agency will help develop the policies necessary to verify that AI systems work as they claim – and without causing harm. Our initiatives will help build an ecosystem of AI adoption and innovation to ensure American AI dominance.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework serves as a voluntary tool that organizations can use to manage risks posed by AI systems.
