We are at a critical time in the development of the policies that will determine how emerging technologies are developed and deployed; where those technologies will create the most jobs; and who will set the rules of the road.
Enter the second Trump Administration, which is keenly aware of the importance of the moment and has a track record on which it can build.
In a letter to the President that I sent this week, I recommended a strategic technology policy agenda that:
- Elevates US leadership to boost global competitiveness;
- Unleashes innovation and widespread technology adoption; and
- Enables business and the American workforce.
This agenda builds off successes from President Trump’s first term in:
(a) creating the gold-standard for digital trade agreements and advancing consensus-based standards for cutting-edge AI technology, which promotes US leadership;
(b) modernizing government and reducing barriers, which will unleash innovation and technology adoption; and
(c) broadening access to training and expanding infrastructure, so the innovation benefits are spread across the country.
Governments across the country and around the world are racing to establish the rules that will govern digital services – from AI to quantum; privacy to cybersecurity. This is the moment for the US to step up global leadership and ensure we can continue to out-innovate and out-compete.
