Re: Request for Information on Regulatory Reform on Artificial Intelligence, 90 Fed. Reg. 46422, pp. 46422-24 (October 27, 2025)
Dear Ms. Murphy:
The Entertainment Software Association1 (“ESA”) welcomes the opportunity to respond
to the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (“OSTP”) request for information
(“RFI”) from stakeholders on federal statutes, regulations, or agency rules that
hinder the development, deployment, or adoption of artificial intelligence (“AI”)
technologies.
Because ESA member companies are at the forefront of AI innovation, they welcome the administration’s objective of promoting the development of AI technologies through the elimination of restrictive policies that hamper the ability of U.S. companies to innovate. Therefore, we recommend that OSTP and other federal agencies:
- maintain a risk-based regulatory perspective that avoids disincentivizing minimal-risk uses of AI technology and training data in entertainment media, such as video games;
- preserve the regulatory and policy space necessary to innovate by encouraging public-private collaboration rather than mandates; and
- resist calls for changes to current intellectual property law.
