ITI Welcomes Bipartisan U.S. Senate AI Roadmap
WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association released the following statement from its President and CEO Jason Oxman reacting to the Bipartisan U.S. Senate AI Working Group’s release of their AI Roadmap, Driving U.S. Innovation in Artificial Intelligence:
“AI’s transformative impact means the U.S. must maintain its leadership in AI innovation, and today’s AI roadmap is an important step. We applaud U.S. Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and U.S. Senators Young, Rounds, and Heinrich for their robust AI engagement with industry, civil society, and academia. ITI was pleased to represent the tech industry during the AI Insight Forums to help educate Senators on how AI will advance economic and societal growth.
“Importantly, the framework urges lawmakers to pass the bipartisan and bicameral CREATE AI Act, which will authorize the National AI Research Resource to serve as an incubator for cutting-edge AI research and boost the entire AI ecosystem. It also includes strategic investments in AI research and development that will advance innovation, and uplevel U.S. leadership while promoting AI safety and transparency. ITI looks forward to advancing our bipartisan collaboration with Members of Congress.”
ITI continues to be a leading partner on AI for global policymakers. In November 2023, ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman participated in U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s fourth AI Insights Forum (opens in a new tab) to discuss how the tech industry is mitigating potential harms and risks associated with AI across all sectors.
