Two new AI-linked bills were introduced by U.S. senators on Thursday. The first was a bill requiring the government to disclose when it’s using AI, and the other proposed the establishment of an Office of Global Competition Analysis to make sure the U.S. doesn’t fall behind in major tech spaces such as artificial intelligence development.
“We cannot afford to lose our competitive edge in strategic technologies like semiconductors, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence to competitors like China,” said senator Michael Bennet (via Reuters), underlining the importance of having an office dedicated to ensuring the U.S. maintains pace with other global superpowers ahead of the speculated-to-be-incoming AI superintelligence era.
