National AI Plan
PLAN COMMITMENT
Limited commitment
Broadly encourages large-scale AI uptake across major industries, including via NAIC guidance on AI adoption, but no specific initiatives to support this for large enterprises. This likely reflects a decision to direct government resources to where they are most needed. Limited commitment by government in the plan aligns with recommendation to maintain and monitor. To build agency, private sector investment will be required.
