Federal agencies should have targets and funding to adopt the technology, and Washington should also invest in public compute resources, A.J. Bhadelia, Cohere’s government affairs lead, wrote in a submission to the White House consultation on a National AI Action Plan. (The Logic)

Talking point: The Trump administration has signalled it wants to see AI developed in and sold from the U.S. Some of Silicon Valley’s biggest names have similarly pushed for an America-first approach to the field, warning of competition from China. In its submission, Toronto-headquartered Cohere argues for a slightly broader focus: the White House plan can help the U.S. “and its allies” to “win the AI innovation race,” Bhadelia wrote. Over-regulation in the U.S., such as requiring firms to get licences for new models or changes to copyright rules, risks giving China an advantage, he claimed.
