A variety of artificial intelligence (AI) firms and industry groups are hoping to shape the Trump administration’s forthcoming policy on the emerging technology and keep the U.S. a leader in the space.

While the recommendations come from a variety of industry players, the proposals largely overlap and offer a glimpse into how the industry envisions its future under President Trump.

The White House set a Saturday deadline for comments on its “AI Action Plan”. The feedback, which it states will influence its future policy, will likely be made public in the days following the deadline.

Here are four takeaways from the recommendations:

Need for a federal framework, but not overdoing regulation

Multiple companies and groups called for a clearer regulatory framework, but strongly argued against any policies they believe will hamper AI innovation.

OpenAI, in its 15-page response to the White House, called for a regulatory strategy that also gives them the “freedom to innovate.”

The popular ChatGPT maker suggested a “holistic approach” involving voluntary partnerships between the federal government and private sector, while giving private companies exemption from the hundreds of AI-related bills introduced at the state level.

There are already multiple partnerships between the government and AI firms like OpenAI, though it is unclear if they will last under any cuts to the Commerce Department and its AI Safety Institute.

The AI industry has long called for regulatory clarity at the federal level, though debate over these rules have stalled most measures from passing Congress. States have taken the issue into their own hands, resulting in patchwork of regulations across the country that firms often argue are too difficult to comply with.

“This patchwork of regulations risks bogging down innovation and, in the case of AI, undermining America’s leadership position,” OpenAI wrote.
