Congress has been studying the AI issue since I set up a bipartisan task force to do so soon after I was elected Speaker. We all have a sense of urgency to create guardrails around the technology.
The key is designing the guardrails carefully, in a way that prevents any harm from AI —while also preserving American innovation and our national security by keeping our edge over China and other international competitors.
I am calling for a meeting in Washington with AI platform providers and key experts to determine the right course forward and discuss the responsibility providers have to ensure the safety of their products.
