Bill > HR6996

This bill, titled the "Full AI Stack Export Promotion Act," aims to bolster the global competitiveness and security of United States artificial intelligence (AI) technology by facilitating its export. The legislation declares that the U.S. is in a critical race for global AI dominance, which will bring significant economic and national security benefits, and that establishing U.S. AI as the worldwide standard is crucial to winning this race. Key provisions include establishing a program managed by the Secretary of Commerce to identify industry consortia that can export the "full AI stack" – which encompasses the entire ecosystem of AI development and deployment, from computing power and data centers to algorithms and technical standards – to allies and partners, while ensuring these exports meet U.S. security requirements. The bill also directs the Secretary of State to work on removing foreign obstacles to exporting the U.S. full AI stack, develop a diplomatic strategy to promote its adoption abroad, and conduct studies on the global impact of AI deployment. Furthermore, it mandates efforts to secure U.S. AI semiconductor products and the broader AI stack from unauthorized access by foreign adversaries, and to develop initiatives that build confidence in the privacy, security, and effectiveness of U.S. AI technology for major international purchasers. Finally, the bill requires regular tracking and reporting on the success of U.S. AI exports globally, measuring factors like computing capacity, the proportion of U.S.-designed chips used, and the usage of U.S.-owned AI models and cloud services.
