BSA SVP of Global Policy Aaron Cooper Comments on the CREATE Act and the Future of AI Innovation Act
Inside AI Policy
By Charlie Mitchell
BSA | The Software Alliance on July 30 issued a statement from senior vice president for global policy Aaron Cooper saying, “BSA appreciates members of the US Senate for their work to advance legislation intended to build trust in artificial intelligence (AI) and build the conditions for its widespread adoption. This week’s planned markup before the Senate Commerce Committee is noteworthy for its consideration of a series of legislative proposals explicitly related to AI. It builds upon the work of the bipartisan Senate Working Group on AI and seeks to translate learning into action.”
Cooper said, “There are commonsense and bipartisan opportunities for Congress to act on AI policy, particularly those bills that would spur AI research and development through the establishment of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR), and legislation to codify by law the work of the AI Safety Institute.”
BSA is supporting the CREATE Act and Future of AI Innovation Act, while it has expressed reservations about the Hickenlooper-Capito VET AI Act and the Thune-Klobuchar AI Research, Innovation and Accountability Act.
