A 360° VIEW OF AI: A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL APPROACH TO POLICY AND LEADERSHIP
To effectively shape national AI policy, the United States must adopt a 360° view of AI. A comprehensive, multi-dimensional approach that integrates the perspectives of four foundational pillars:
1. Academic Institutions and Research Leaders, who bring critical insights into emerging technologies, ethics, and long-term societal impact.
2. Enterprise and Industry Practitioners, the organizations deploying AI in real-world settings across supply chains, healthcare, energy, finance, and manufacturing, who understand practical use cases, adoption barriers, and operational risks.
3. Technology Developers and Solution Providers, who create the foundational models, platforms, infrastructure, and tools that drive AI innovation and scalability.
4. Public Sector Leaders and Policy Architects, including regulatory agencies and government bodies responsible for crafting frameworks that ensure safety, equity, innovation, and national security.
An effective AI Action Plan must draw from all four of these interconnected domains, ensuring policies are grounded in academic rigor, informed by real-world applications, technically feasible, and aligned with national strategic priorities.
