HTIA Submits Comments on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan

The High Tech Inventors Alliance (HTIA) submitted comments regarding the National Science Foundation's Request for Information on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan.

HTIA’s members are leaders in the development of artificial intelligence. We have a

strong interest in the development of government policies that will allow the United States to

maintain its leadership in this critical field. Our comments posit, "[m]aintaining the United States’ leadership in the development of artificial intelligence requires pro-innovation policies across the federal government. Our patent system has a role to play in supporting this leadership, through robust patent examination to grant valid patent rights at the outset of the patenting process, and a robust patent review process to address any errors in examination after the fact.

This is particularly important given the tremendous increase in the patenting of AI

innovations, and the growing percentage of those patents held by foreign entities."
