The US government plans to invest more in artificial intelligence (AI), a government official has told the Reuters news agency.

President Donald Trump will sign the documents for the initiative on Monday. With this, government agencies are asked to invest more money in researching, training and promoting AI.

The American AI Initiative should give research organizations that develop artificial intelligence access to more government data that can be loaded into the AI ​​software. Staff should also be prepared for the introduction of AI and how this can change the working situation.

It is not yet known how much money will be invested in the initiative. However, bodies are called on to keep track of how much is invested in artificial intelligence.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai described AI as “more important than for example fire and electricity”.
