U.S. creates National Artificial Intelligence office. In one of the Trump Administration's final acts, it has established the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office, which is part of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The new office is charged with coordinating efforts across academia, government and industry to ensure the U.S. remains a leader in A.I. development and this development is in line with U.S. strategy. The announcement spends as much time talking about the symbolism of the office's new insignia—which includes an eagle superimposed on an image meant to represent a neural network and which garnered a lot of comments on Twitter—as it does about anything concrete the new office will do. You can read the announcement and see the new office's badge here.
