New Dem Artificial Intelligence Working Group Endorses Legislation to Ensure Responsible Development and Deployment of AI Technologies
Today, the New Democrat Coalition Artificial Intelligence Working Group, led by Chair Derek Kilmer (WA-06), and Vice Chairs Don Beyer (VA-08), Jeff Jackson (NC-14), Sara Jacobs (CA-51), Susie Lee (NV-03), and Haley Stevens (MI-11) endorsed 10 bipartisan, New Dem-led Artificial Intelligence bills that would help ensure the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.
From supporting workforce training and studying the economic impacts of AI to protecting consumers, elections, and workers from potential harm, these bills will help unlock the promise of AI while also guarding against potential risks.
AI Working Group Chair Derek Kilmer (WA-06) released the following statement on the endorsement:
“Artificial Intelligence is the next great frontier of technological innovation, presenting both revolutionary opportunities and new, unique challenges. To safely and effectively harness the promise of AI, Congress must play a role in educating and preparing the workforce, consumers, and the economy at large.
“The bills we are endorsing today aim to do just that. The 10 bipartisan New Dem-led bills address consumer protection and privacy concerns, risks to our democracy, threats to the workforce, and more. Together, they build a strong foundation of forward-thinking policies to help guide development and deployment of AI to benefit society – not harm it.
“These are critical steps in our approach to AI, but they are only the first steps. New Dems will continue working to position the U.S. as a world leader in AI innovation and safety.”
