The White House is announcing Thursday a fresh call for public input on actions the federal government should take regarding artificial intelligence, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: President Trump has revoked former President Biden's executive order on AI, replacing it with one that calls for a focus on U.S. leadership in the sector, including a new "AI Action Plan."

Driving the news: The administration says it is now seeking input on what should go into that AI Action Plan, set to be developed within 180 days.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy says it is seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders including academia, industry groups and private sector organizations as well as state, local and tribal governments.
The request for information, available through the Federal Register's website, runs through March 15.

What they're saying: "The Trump Administration is committed to ensuring the United States is the undeniable leader in AI technology," Lynne Parker, principal deputy director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), said in a statement. "This AI Action Plan is the first step in securing and advancing American AI dominance, and we look forward to incorporating the public's comments and innovative ideas."
