,,iii #aaith ,,congress #ast ,session ,s4 ,,res4 #dij ,,in ,,the ,,senate ,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states ,november #f1 #bjbe ,mr4 ,coons 7for himself1 ,mr4 ,cotton1 ,mr4 ,mc,cormick1 and ,ms4 ,klobuchar7 submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,foreign ,relations ,,resolution ,affirming the critical importance of preserving the ,united ,states' advantage in artificial intelligence and ensuring that the ,united ,states achieves and maintains artificial intelligence dominance4 ,whereas artificial intelligence 7,,ai7 will be one of the defining technologies of the #bast century2 ,whereas preserving ,american dominance in ,,ai will allow the ,united ,states to hold an advantage in military capabilities1 economic might1 scientific achievement1 and geopolitical influence1 all of which will enable the ,united ,states to shape the world's future on a foundation of democratic values2 ,whereas ,,ai will unlock untold opportunities in nearly every sector in the global economy1 from healthcare to manufacturing1 defense1 energy1 and finance2 ,whereas ,,ai is also a national security imperative1 with the potential to reshape military strategies1 cybersecurity1 and intelligence operations1 requiring both the ,united ,states ,government and the private sector to collaborate in preserving the technological superiority of the ,united ,states2 ,whereas the ,united ,states has historically led the world in ,,ai research and development1 fostering a dynamic ecosystem of cutting-edge technologies driven by the collaboration between government1 academia1 and the private sector2 ,whereas the global competition for ,,ai supremacy is intensifying1 with the ,government of the ,people's ,republic of ,china making substantial investments in ,,ai research1 development1 and deployment with the stated goal of becoming the world leader in ,,ai by #bjcj and leveraging state-backed policies to accelerate ,,ai adoption across various domains2 ,whereas the ,white ,house ,,ai ,action ,plan notes that just like we won the space race1 it is imperative that the ,united ,states win this race and achieve and maintain unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance2 ,whereas ,,ai dominance will be decided by relative strength across multiple pillars1 including talent1 energy1 and compute1 with the ,united ,states maintaining a clear lead in compute while ,china's investments have yielded advantages in energy and talent2 ,whereas ,united ,states chipmakers1 working with manufacturers in ,taiwan1 produce millions of ,united ,states-designed ,,ai chips per year1 while ,chinese chipmakers are projected to produce no more than #bjj1jjj advanced chips this year1 according to ,secretary of ,commerce ,howard ,lutinick1 each of which is far less powerful than ,,ai chips designed in the ,united ,states2 ,whereas ,united ,states companies produce #dc to #abj times more computing power than their ,chinese equivalent1 taking into account both the number and quality of ,united ,states-made chips1 and ,united ,states chips are in effect the only true option for training advanced ,,ai systems such that even leading ,chinese firms use ,united ,states-produced chips2 ,whereas ,china--despite more than a decade of major ,chinese indigenization efforts and more than #bjj1jjj1jjj1jjj in investments since #bjad--;has struggled to produce advanced ,,ai chips and therefore has to rely on smuggling or legal exports of advanced chips from the ,united ,states2 ,whereas export controls on advanced chips1 chip design software1 tools1 and manufacturing equipment have denied the ,government of the ,people's ,republic of ,china the opportunity to develop domestic chipmaking capabilities and capture significant market share of global ,,ai infrastructure2 ,whereas it is essential that the ,united ,states remain the world's hub for ,,ai development1 training1 inference1 and innovation2 and ,whereas preserving the ,united ,states lead in ,,ai will require ensuring ,united ,states ,,ai companies can access the energy1 compute1 and talent they require3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,senate-- 7#a7 affirms that the preservation of the ,united ,states' primacy in artificial intelligence is a national imperative that is critical to maintaining our global leadership1 economic prosperity1 and national security2 7#b7 commends the ,white ,house ,,ai ,action ,plan1 including its recognition that advanced ,,ai compute is essential to the ,,ai era1 enabling both economic dynamism and novel military capabilities and that denying our foreign adversaries access to this resource1 then1 is a matter of both geostrategic competition and national security2 7#c7 applauds ,united ,states ,government efforts to deny the ,government of the ,people's ,republic of ,china access to advanced chips and chipmaking equipment1 and affirms the importance of continuing these efforts2 7#d7 recognizes that efforts of the ,government of the ,people's ,republic ,china to close the ,,ai gap and leap ahead of the ,united ,states in developing frontier ,,ai models1 and deploy ,chinese ,,ai models for the world to use and build on1 present a clear and imminent threat to the ,united ,states1 and that ,china's self-acknowledged inability to make and access computing power is the main impediment to its progress2 7#e7 emphasizes that the world's most powerful supercomputers and next generation of ,,ai models must be built in the ,united ,states and by ,united ,states companies2 7#f7 calls on the ,united ,states ,government to ensure that ,united ,states companies maintain priority access to the cutting-edge ,,ai chips they require to build frontier ,,ai models and are not deprioritized in favor of buyers in ,china or other arms-embargoed countries2 7#g7 emphasizes the importance of exporting the full ,united ,states ,,ai stack--which includes ,united ,states ,,ai chips1 cloud infrastructure1 and models--to allies and partners1 while restricting access to the most sophisticated chips and models that ,united ,states adversaries may seek to use against the ,united ,states1 whether by enforcing export controls and countering illegal chip diversion or by strategically limiting legal exports of advanced chips to adversary countries2 and 7#h7 asserts the need to prioritize investments in the energy1 telecommunications1 and physical infrastructure necessary to enable widespread adoption of ,,ai technology4
