On April 24, the White House stated that it has received over 10,000 public comments regarding its proposed AI action plan, highlighting the widespread public attention on the technology amid the intensifying global competition for AI leadership.

Stakeholders participating in the submission of opinions include AI giants such as OpenAI, Meta, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. In addition, academia, non-profit organizations, and industry associations are also actively involved in this discussion.

After a preliminary review of the comments received from major private enterprises by the White House, several recurring themes were identified: the need to increase investment in U.S. energy resources to support AI development; enhancing the global influence of U.S. AI companies through foreign policy; and improving domestic infrastructure to promote the development of AI technology at home.

In addition, many enterprises are calling for the establishment of an open and innovative framework to guide the development of the AI industry in the United States, while providing individuals with the necessary security guarantees.

The White House issued a public comment request on February 6. The government stated that these comments “will help define the priority policy actions needed to maintain and enhance the United States’ leadership in AI.” U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to make the United States the “world capital of AI and cryptocurrency.”

National security issues have raised concerns.

Among the companies submitting feedback, national security has become a key issue. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz pointed out: “The development of AI models is a matter of national significance and should be regulated at the national level. This is crucial for the national security of the United States, geopolitical objectives, as well as the nation’s economic and social well-being.”

OpenAI has also raised relevant concerns, explicitly naming China as a competitor with a “strategic advantage” in the AI field. The company pointed out that as a “centralized state,” China has the ability to rapidly mobilize resources, which could have a significant impact on global AI competition.

In January 2025, the Chinese company DeepSeek released its R1 model, an event that raised alarm in the U.S. tech industry and caused fluctuations in the domestic stock market.

AI and cryptocurrency are widely regarded as two of the most transformative frontier technologies, and the integration between the two is increasingly enhanced, such as the combination of AI-driven smart agents and digital financial products.
