Key Points

  • This bill aims to make sure the United States plays a leading role in deciding the "rules of the road" for artificial intelligence and other new technologies. By setting these technical standards, the U.S. can help ensure that new tech is safe, reliable, and works well with existing systems used by Americans.
  • The National Institute of Standards and Technology and the State Department would create a new online portal. This website will help American businesses and government workers keep track of international meetings where tech rules are being written so they can participate in important global decisions.
  • The bill creates a $5 million pilot program to help pay for hosting international tech meetings in the United States. The government would cover up to half the cost of things like renting a venue or planning the event to encourage more global tech leaders to visit and work with American experts.
  • If the U.S. does not help set these standards, other countries might create rules that make it harder for American companies to sell their products abroad or that do not match American values regarding privacy and safety. This bill tries to keep the U.S. at the center of the global tech conversation.
