The rise of artificial intelligence has quickly revolutionized significant portions of the economy, including the transportation, health care, and financial sectors. As technology progresses, the United States must develop a comprehensive framework that addresses the opportunities and challenges within AI. The Bipartisan Policy Center has teamed up with Reps. Will Hurd (R-TX) and Robin Kelly (D-IL) to create an AI initiative aimed at establishing a national strategy for how the United States can continue its leadership in developing these technologies while also providing recommendations for how Congress should adapt to ongoing advancements. Hurd announced the work at an October 2019 event and in a subsequent press release.
