History

Historical Context

Federal AI policy started with the Obama administration’s October 2016 “Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence” report, which urged coordination and listed seven research priorities. The 2021 National Security Commission report, the 2022 AI Bill of Rights, and Biden’s 2023 executive order built on that foundation, leading to Trump-led meeting with Mark Zuckerberg and launch of America.gov AI portal created by Joe Gebbia’s studio.
