Abstract

“Today, a new frontier of scientific discovery lies before us, defined by transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence… Breakthroughs in these fields have the potential to reshape the global balance of power, spark entirely new industries, and revolutionize the way we live and work. As our global competitors race to exploit these technologies, it is a national security imperative for the United States to achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance. To secure our future, we must harness the full power of American innovation.”
Donald J. Trump
45th and 47th President of the United States

Author Biography

Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)

Congress established the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in 1976 to provide the President and Executive Office of the President (EOP) with advice on the scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of national policy and the work of the executive branch. This includes matters of the economy, national security, homeland security, health, foreign relations, the environment, education, and resource management.

The OSTP Director oversees the development and execution of the nation’s science and technology policy agenda, leading White House efforts in critical and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum information sciences, and biotechnology, with the aim of safeguarding US leadership in these fields and ensuring they advance in ways that bolster American economic competitiveness, national security, and human flourishing. The OSTP Director co-chairs the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), an advisory board whose members are drawn from outside the Federal Government, typically from industry, academia, and research institutions. The Director also chairs the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), which coordinates the science and technology policymaking process across the executive branch to ensure delivery of the President’s agenda.

In addition to leading interagency science and policy coordination, OSTP assists the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) with annual reviews and priority setting for the Federal research and development budget, and evaluates the scale, quality, and effectiveness of Federal science and technology efforts. OSTP also serves as a source of scientific and technical analysis and judgment for the President with respect to any major strategies, plans, and Government programs.
