The Congress finds the following: The United States stands at a new frontier of scientific discovery driven by transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence. Breakthroughs in these fields have the potential to reshape the global balance of power, spark entirely new industries, and revolutionize the way Americans live and work. Global competitors are racing to develop and deploy these technologies to gain strategic advantage. Securing that future requires harnessing the full power of American innovation across the private sector, academia, and government.
The United States leads the world in AI due to a thriving innovation, investment, and development environment; and a flexible, sector-specific regulatory framework. A patchwork of divergent State AI rules creates conflicting requirements, forces firms to navigate multiple agencies, and can deter investment. Small businesses face disproportionate compliance burdens from unclear or fragmented AI rules; clarity and sector-specific guidance are needed. There is no universal legal definition of artificial intelligence ; any Federal action that preempts State AI laws should precisely define its scope.
AI governance standards are still maturing (including the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Risk Management Framework); a uniform national approach during this build-out supports responsible adoption.
