What US Executive Order 13859 - Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence (February 11, 2019) requires
Executive Order 13859 of February 11, 2019 establishes the American AI Initiative as the first federal whole-of-government policy on AI leadership. The Order directs federal departments and agencies to prioritise AI investment, increase access to federal data and computing resources for AI researchers, set AI governance standards through NIST, build the AI workforce, and engage internationally. The Order articulates five strategic objectives: (1) Promote sustained investment in AI R&D in collaboration with industry, academia, international partners, and allies; (2) Enhance access to high-quality and fully traceable federal data, models, and computing resources to increase the value of those resources for AI R&D; (3) Reduce barriers to the use of AI technologies to promote their innovative application while protecting American technology, economic and national security, civil liberties, privacy, and American values; (4) Ensure that technical standards minimise vulnerability to attacks and reflect federal priorities for innovation, public trust, and confidence in AI systems; (5) Train the next generation of American AI researchers and users through apprenticeships, skills programs, and education in STEM, with an emphasis on computer science, to ensure that American workers, including federal workers, are capable of taking full advantage of the opportunities of AI. EO 13859 is the statutory predecessor to the National AI Initiative Act 2020 and the original authority for NIST AI standards work that produced the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. EO 13859 remains in force and has not been rescinded.
