Whose Voice Counts? Mapping Stakeholder Perspectives on AI Through Public Submissions to the U.S. Government

Researchers analyze public comment letters submitted to the Trump Administration's U.S. AI Action Plan consultation, applying topic modeling and frequency analysis to compare perspectives across stakeholder groups including academia, individuals, and the private sector. The study finds that individual submitters emphasize concerns about AI's societal impacts on daily life, while the final AI Action Plan predominantly reflects private sector priorities around security, policy, and development. A corpus cleaning pipeline is released alongside the findings. The work highlights a representational gap between public concerns and the resulting policy document.
