A resolution affirming the critical importance of preserving the United States' advantage in artificial intelligence and ensuring that the United States achieves and maintains artificial intelligence dominance.
Senate Resolution 490 is a non-binding statement expressing the Senate's position that maintaining American technological leadership in artificial intelligence is essential to national security and global competitiveness. The resolution affirms support for the White House's AI Action Plan and emphasizes that the United States must preserve its current advantages in AI chip production and computing power, particularly by continuing export controls that restrict China's access to advanced semiconductor technology. The resolution specifically commends efforts to deny China access to cutting-edge chips and chipmaking equipment, noting that this technology gap is the primary factor preventing China from closing its AI capabilities gap with the United States. It calls on the federal government to prioritize American companies' access to advanced AI chips, export the full U.S. AI technology stack to allied nations while restricting it from adversaries, and invest in energy and infrastructure to support widespread AI adoption. While this resolution does not create new law or allocate funding, it signals Congressional support for maintaining technological dominance in AI as a matter of national security and economic prosperity.
