The Business Software Alliance sent a letter to Secretary Howard Lutnick recommending that the Department of Commerce strengthen its sub-agencies to bolster U.S. technology. Key suggestions included empowering the National Institute of Standards and Technology and U.S. Patent & Trademark Office to support technology businesses better. The letter emphasized the importance of NIST's role in setting governance frameworks for AI and advocated collaborating with other entities to ensure cybersecurity. It proposed leveraging AI within the USPTO to accelerate patent processes and support U.S. firms.
The Commerce Department's leadership in this debate will be instrumental to bringing allies toward a consistent approach that gives American companies fair access to global markets while protecting and advancing US technology leadership.
Now is the time to urge NIST to focus its efforts on advancing the science and security of AI, as well as other R&D efforts that facilitate pre-standardization research and bolster US national and economic security.
