Response to NITRD NCO RFI on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan

Publication Date: March 2025

EBRC’s response to OSTP’s Request for Information regarding the development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Plan to sustain and enhance the US competitive edge within this strategic technology. AI holds a great deal of promise for engineering biology, but it also potentially introduces new risks. Without guardrails and common sense oversight, AI may be appropriated to inform the creation of hazards that could endanger public health and national security. Further, USG must ensure developers and researchers have access to resources required to develop and deploy the technology. Our response recommends policy actions that promote the creation of a competitive and vibrant AI ecosystem that is safe and secure.

See the Request for Information as published in the Federal Register Vol. 90, No. 24 pg 9088.
