The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) signed on to a letter urging Congress to take decisive action on artificial intelligence (AI) legislation before the close of the 118th Congress. The letter emphasizes the importance of passing bipartisan bills such as the CREATE AI Act and the Future of AI Innovation Act to promote responsible AI development and safeguard public safety.

The CREATE AI Act (S. 2714 & H.R. 5077) would provide researchers with the computing power necessary to analyze AI models and assess their risks, while the Future of AI Innovation Act (S. 4178) would bolster NIST's role in guiding the responsible development of this transformative technology. SIIA and other signatories call on Congress to prioritize these measures to address AI's rapid advancement and prepare for the challenges ahead.
