Intelligence contains AI-related recommendations for im- plementation by Congress. Drafted by the House AI Task Force — 12 Republicans and 12 Democrats — the 273-page document “highlights America’s leadership in its approach to responsible AI in- novation while considering guardrails that may be appro- priate to safeguard the nation against current and emerg- ing threats,” the task force’s co-chairs, Reps. Jay Obernolte (R-California) and Ted Lieu (D-California), wrote in a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) at the be- ginning of the report. The task force report includes many recommendations that the NAM supports: Promote innovation: “As the global leader in AI devel- opment and deployment, the United States is best posi- tioned to responsibly enable the potential of this transfor- mative technology for all. To maintain this leadership and enable the US economy to harness the full benefits of AI, policymakers should continue to promote AI innovation.” Safeguard against harm: “A thoughtful, risk-based ap- proach to AI governance can promote innovation rather than stifle it.” Plan for power needs: “Planning properly now for new power generation and transmission is critical for AI innova- tion and adoption.” Develop an AI-ready workforce: “Successful collabo- rations between educational institutions, government and industries should effectively align education and work- force development with market needs and emerging tech- nologies.” Protect privacy: Congress should “ensure privacy laws are generally applicable and technology-neutral.” Make compliance feasible: “Lawmakers should ensure that AI regulatory compliance is not unduly burdensome for small businesses.” Increase cooperation: “Bolster collaboration between the government, industry and academia to boost innova- tion and expand markets.” In May, the NAM released, “Working Smarter: How Manufacturers Are Using Artificial Intelligence,” its own re- port on AI’s deployment in the manufacturing sector and an accompanying list of suggested policy actions for Con- gress to take. The NAM briefed legislators on its report in September. The NAM will work closely with policymakers in Con- gress and the incoming administration to bolster AI inno- vation in manufacturing, based on shared policy goals. Additionally, manufacturers will continue to call on Congress to pass federal data privacy legislation that pre- empts state privacy regulations and helps resolve conflict- ing requirements in different states, which NAM says is an important issue for the use of AI where the House report
