The October 30, 2023 White House “Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence” includes Section 5: a 774 word instruction for enhancing our immigration systems to provide more AI talent. I am digesting it now.

In 2021 I posted on AI talent: “The United States has a large lead over all other countries in top-tier AI research, with nearly 60% of top-tier researchers working for American universities and companies. The US lead is built on attracting international talent, with more than two-thirds of the top-tier AI researchers working in the United States having received undergraduate degrees in other countries.”
