"This legislation brings together private sector and government experts to develop voluntary standards for AI, create new assessment tools, and conduct testing that will ensure the United States leads in AI-driven innovation and competitiveness for decades to come. The NIST Center for AI Standards and Innovation, testbeds at our national labs, and grand challenge prizes will accelerate new advancements while helping companies and consumers better use AI in a safe and secure manner."
"The measure aims to support U.S. leadership in AI through multiple vehicles, including public-private partnerships, codification of the Center for Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation within the National Institutes of Standards and Technology, increased interagency coordination and international coalitions to further promulgate unifying AI standards and metrics."
The Future of AI Innovation Act, reintroduced by Senators Todd Young and Maria Cantwell, aims to establish uniform standards for artificial intelligence research and development while promoting innovation in the private sector. The legislation supports U.S. AI leadership through multiple mechanisms including public-private partnerships, codification of the Center for Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation within NIST, increased interagency coordination, and international coalitions to develop unified AI standards and metrics. The 2026 version reflects priorities from President Trump's AI Action Plan and the Commerce Department's pro-innovation rebranding of CAISI. The bill creates voluntary standards for AI, develops assessment tools, conducts testing, establishes testbeds at national laboratories, and implements grand challenge prizes to accelerate advancements while ensuring safe and secure AI use.
