🗞️ The Latest in AI: Senators introduce bipartisan AI bill to measure competition with China

On Thursday a bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation aimed at measuring the use of AI by U.S. adversaries. The Global Technology Leadership Act would establish an office that analyzes how competitive the U.S. is in advanced technologies in comparison to rivals such as China.

The new federal entity, the Office of Global Competition Analysis, would include experts from the intelligence community, the Pentagon and other relevant agencies. Bill text shared with NBC News says that “although the Department of Defense evaluates how our battleships, tanks, and aircraft compare to other nations, there is no equivalent process for critical technologies.”

The bill aims to evaluate the U.S.’s technology leadership relative to other countries and inform the proper policy response. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said “we don’t [want to] get caught by surprise again as we did with 5G.”

Bennet is leading the bill with bipartisan co-sponsors Todd Young, R-Ind., and Mark Warner, D-Va. Bennet says that AI is a ripe issue for bipartisan support, and thinks that it will likely pass.
