Calling on the United States to champion a regional artificial intelligence strategy in the Americas to foster inclusive artificial intelligence systems that combat biases within marginalized groups and promote social justice, economic well-being, and democratic values.

This House Resolution calls for the United States to lead the development of a regional artificial intelligence strategy across the Americas. It emphasizes the importance of fostering inclusive AI systems that actively combat biases against marginalized groups, promoting social justice, economic well-being, and democratic values throughout the Western Hemisphere. The resolution highlights that AI systems, if not carefully designed, can amplify and reinforce existing inequalities, citing examples like racial biases in facial recognition technology. To address these concerns, the resolution declares inclusive AI research, design, use, regulation, and deployment as a priority for U.S. domestic and foreign policy. It urges the U.S. Government to leverage funding from economic and international development agencies to invest in AI education, training, and infrastructure across the Western Hemisphere. Furthermore, it calls for supporting common ethical frameworks, standards, and regulations for AI development and deployment in the region, prioritizing fairness, accountability, trustworthiness, privacy, and the protection of individual rights. The resolution also advocates for increased cooperation with international organizations like the Organization of American States and the Inter-American Development Bank to facilitate regional coordination and position the Western Hemisphere as a leader in AI innovation and governance.
