March 16, 2025 — Yesterday the Transparency Coalition shared its recommendations with the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) for the Trump Administration’s forthcoming U.S. Artificial Intelligence Action Plan.

On Feb. 25, the Administration encouraged the American people to share their policy ideas for the AI Action Plan by responding to a Request for Information, with a deadline of March 15.

TCAI’s input: enact clear ‘duty of care’ expectations

President Trump and White House officials have expressed a desire to craft a national AI policy that allows American technology companies to thrive and succeed against global competition.

With that in mind, the Transparency Coalition believes that the highest-quality datasets and processes will allow American entrepreneurs to build the highest-quality AI systems.

A majority of American companies currently view AI as too risky to adopt. A recent Deloitte report on the state of Gen AI found that 35% of responding organizations said their top potential barrier to adopting Gen AI is mistakes/errors with real-world consequences. Nearly 30% said they were reluctant to adopt AI because of a general lack of trust in the systems.

Underlying that hesitance are two factors: The potential business harm caused by AI-induced errors, and the potential legal liability of that harm.

TCAI recommends the adoption of legislation to hold Gen AI developers accountable to their duty of care responsibilities by mandating copyright protection, personal privacy preservation, user safety protocols, and the labeling of Gen AI model outputs. That legal accountability for developers will in turn help businesses deploying Gen AI meet their legal duty of care responsibilities.

Recommended actions

To enable proactive and programmatic model and data transparency, the Transparency Coalition recommends the following policy actions by legislators which can, in turn, be implemented by a Gen AI developer in a straightforward manner:

Make it clear when content is AI-generated. Inform consumers when an image, video, sound, or text has been created or modified by AI. Embed that information in all AI-generated material.
Publish AI training data ingredient lists. Developers of AI systems should be required to provide documentation for the training data used to develop an AI model.
Require opt-in consent to use personal data. Flip the paradigm and put people in charge of their personal data. Require consumers to intentionally "opt-in" to allow tech companies to collect and use their personal information.
Minimize the personal data collected and kept. Limit data collection to information necessary to perform a transaction or optimize a user's website experience—and nothing more.

New White House Plan expected in later 2025

The new White House plan, expected by early September, was put in motion on Jan. 20, when President Trump rescinded the AI Blueprint put forward by President Biden.

The effort to craft a new AI Action Plan is being led by Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and David O. Sacks, the White House’s crypto/AI czar.
