Senator Coons says the legislation will help the United States maintain dominance in the ‘AI race.’
Senators Chris Coons of Delaware and Tom Cotton of Arkansas have introduced a bipartisan resolution that seeks to limit the sale of artificial intelligence (AI) chips to China. The resolution notes China’s challenges with AI chip production after more than a decade and $200 billion in investments. It also cites the United States’ AI dominance as crucial to “military capabilities, economic might, scientific achievement, and geopolitical influence.”
“The United States’ prosperity and safety rests on our ability to win the AI race,” said Senator Coons. “This bipartisan resolution sets us on a path toward a different future – one in which frontier AI systems are built in the United States by American companies, and one in which our nation is stronger and safer because our innovators, businesses, and military have everything they need to prevail in the fight for dominant technology of the rest of the 21st century.”
“Winning the AI race will be critical to our national security and economic prosperity for decades to come. We must do everything to protect American AI dominance from adversaries like Communist China,” said Senator Cotton.
