ITI CEO to U.S. Congress: AI is Empowering U.S. Manufacturing Renaissance
WASHINGTON – In testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, global tech trade association ITI’s President and CEO Jason Oxman outlined how the tech sector is driving economic growth and unleashing the power of AI to expand U.S. manufacturing.
Oxman’s testimony highlights how industry is making significant investments in expanding domestic capacity for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and critical AI infrastructure. He calls on the U.S. Congress to partner with tech to create a stable, barrier-free, and enabling environment for innovation, accelerate the adoption of AI in manufacturing operations, and continue public-private partnerships that spur private sector investment in AI and manufacturing.
“AI’s transformational impact is being felt across all sectors, including manufacturing. AI has increased U.S. economic growth, facilitated economic opportunities for businesses of all sizes, and enabled the U.S. to deepen cooperation with allies and remain competitive with other nations,” Oxman testified. “In seeking to advance a pro-innovation AI policy agenda, which will in turn benefit the adoption of AI technology in the manufacturing sector, it is important that Congress work with stakeholders to develop policies that support innovation and workforce development, advance helpful applications of AI, and progress the research and development needed to maintain American leadership in AI.”
