A group of bipartisan senators have recently proposed a bill that would establish a new office tasked with analyzing the United States’ dominance in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), relative to its competitors like China. The legislation, introduced by Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), and Mark Warner (D-Va.), calls for the creation of an Office of Global Competition Analysis to assess technological competitiveness based on intelligence and commercial data, which are often separated into intelligence and civilian agencies. This divide has allowed other countries to keep the US in the dark about its own technological capacity, and a holistic understanding of the entire ecosystem is crucial in confronting emerging threats and technologies. The proposed bill outlines the composition of the office, which would include experts from the intelligence community, various departments, the private sector, and academia to work together in assessing technological developments. This move comes after a series of hearings on AI in Capitol Hill, indicating a growing awareness among lawmakers of the risks associated with this emerging technology, and a renewed focus on ensuring its benefits for society.
