That the Senate— affirms that the preservation of the United States’ primacy in artificial intelligence is a national imperative that is critical to maintaining our global leadership, economic prosperity, and national security; commends the White House AI Action Plan, including its recognition that advanced AI compute is essential to the AI era, enabling both economic dynamism and novel military capabilities and that denying our foreign adversaries access to this resource, then, is a matter of both geostrategic competition and national security; applauds United States Government efforts to deny the Government of the People's Republic of China access to advanced chips and chipmaking equipment, and affirms the importance of continuing these efforts; 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 models, and deploy Chinese AI models for the world to use and build on, present a clear and imminent threat to the United States, and that China’s self-acknowledged inability to make and access computing power is the main impediment to its progress; 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 companies; 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 countries; emphasizes the importance of exporting the full United States AI stack—which includes United States AI chips, cloud infrastructure, and models—to allies and partners, while restricting access to the most sophisticated chips and models that United States adversaries may seek to use against the United States, whether by enforcing export controls and countering illegal chip diversion or by strategically limiting legal exports of advanced chips to adversary countries; and asserts the need to prioritize investments in the energy, telecommunications, and physical infrastructure necessary to enable widespread adoption of AI technology.
