Last month, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a Request for Information (RIF) on Regulatory Reform on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The request focused on identifying existing Federal statutes, regulations, agency rules, guidance, forms, and administrative processes that unnecessarily hinder the development, deployment, and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies within the United States.
In response to OSTP’s request, NetChoice’s key recommendation is to expeditiously identify and rescind lingering, harmful Biden-era policies that create costly uncertainty for the AI industry. This includes formally revoking the vague “voluntary” AI commitments, revising the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to remove progressive policy priorities, and expediting the rescission of the Biden AI Diffusion Rule to allow American technology to set the global standard. Furthermore, we urge the administration to address the Biden-era antitrust cases and burdensome Hart-Scott-Rodino merger rules that are based on obsolete market definitions and hamstring our most innovative companies. Finally, we strongly advocate for the White House to back a national data privacy law that preempts state-level rules, creating a single, clear standard that supports innovation.
