As part of it’s broader policy to promote artificial intelligence (AI) research and development (R&D), the White House has launched AI.gov, an official domain used to showcase the government’s new AI strategy and related projects. According to the Trump administration, the domain is part of the government’s efforts to solidify “America’s position as the world leader in AI” and to ensure “this emerging technology is developed and applied for the benefit of the American people.”
