Federally proposed bill promotes Energy Dept.’s use of AI in energy, national security, science
7/15/2024
A newly introduced bill on Capitol Hill aims to advance America’s leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) by establishing a program at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that would promote the department’s use of the technology in its work in energy, national security, and science.
“As AI technology takes the world by storm, the United States needs to meet the moment quickly and effectively before our adversaries do,” said U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV), who on July 10 sponsored the bipartisan Department of Energy AI Act, S. 4664.
