Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 836 is a non-binding resolution calling on the U.S. government to develop and champion a regional artificial intelligence strategy across the Americas that prioritizes inclusive AI systems designed to eliminate bias against marginalized communities. The resolution emphasizes that AI algorithms currently exhibit documented racial biases—particularly in facial recognition technology—and argues that the U.S. should lead efforts to ensure diverse populations are represented in AI development, data collection, and decision-making processes to prevent these technologies from perpetuating historical inequalities. The resolution affects American policymakers, international development agencies, and communities across the Western Hemisphere, particularly Hispanic, Black, Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander populations. Rather than allocating specific funding, the resolution calls on the U.S. government to leverage existing economic and international development agency funds to invest in AI research, education, and infrastructure throughout the region while establishing common ethical standards and regulations in collaboration with organizations like the Organization of American States. There is no specific timeline mentioned, but the resolution frames inclusive AI development as an immediate strategic priority for U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
