As the Senate and its top Democrat eye comprehensive legislation for regulating artificial intelligence, House Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher is advocating for a “clinical, targeted and iterative approach” to the technology.
Wisconsin’s Gallagher, who helms the House Armed Services’ cyber subcommittee, said that could include the build-out of the Pentagon’s previously released AI ethical principles across other parts of the U.S. government. Eventually, that effort could grow to include international allies and partners.
But overall, he stressed the importance of moving quickly during the current Congress to knock out straightforward AI regulatory priorities on issues that extend beyond the Defense Department, ranging from autonomous vehicle reciprocity to controls on outbound capital investments.
