A bipartisan group of four senators led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recommends Congress to spend at least $32 billion over the next three years to develop AI and implement safeguards, stressing the urgency to harness opportunities and address risks in AI technology.
The senators emphasize the importance of finding consensus in AI regulation and innovation incentives despite differing views. Urgent actions are needed due to global AI advancements, notably China's significant investments in AI.
The group proposes drafting emergency spending legislation to boost U.S. AI investments, emphasizing new research, development, testing standards, transparency requirements, and studying the potential impacts of AI technology on jobs and the workforce.
Senator Mike Rounds highlights that investing in AI not only ensures competitiveness with other nations but also enhances Americans' quality of life by supporting advancements that could potentially address critical health issues like cancer or chronic illnesses.
