خارطة طريق لقيادة أمريكا في خطة عمل الذكاء الاصطناعي

Executive Summary

In response to a request for information (RFI) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) regarding the “Development of an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan” in support of the objectives set forth in Executive Order (EO) 14179, Mohammed Soliman and Vincent Carchidi of the Middle East Institute (MEI) offer the following recommendations to solidify the United States’ position as the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) innovation while addressing critical ethical, regulatory, and infrastructural imperatives. Their recommendations emphasize four strategic priorities:

• Regulations and Export Controls: An AI governance framework balancing innovation and security, with a Tier 1.5 classification to boost Gulf state partnerships (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates). This builds on the AI Diffusion Framework for standards and cooperation.
• Energy and Infrastructure: Energy policy reform to meet AI’s energy needs, modernizing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for faster clean energy approvals (e.g., geothermal, nuclear, solar), as well as the introduction of Innovation Zones in Nevada, Texas, and Arizona with pre-approved permits to speed up AI data center deployment.
• Research and Development (R&D): Sustained R&D investment to lead in AI, including a National AI Research Institute for Third Wave AI (machine learning + symbolic reasoning). There is a clear need for stronger government-industry-academia collaboration, especially in healthcare.
• AI Systems and Governance: Policies for AI accuracy, explainability, and adaptability, prioritizing autonomous, real-time learning AI to address global challenges and reduce biases.

These recommendations reflect a comprehensive approach to AI development, designed to counter global competitors, notably China, while fostering an environment of innovation and ethical stewardship.
