This will help policymakers understand the national security aspects of AI standardssetting. The legislation now heads to the president's desk to be signed into law. As the co-chair of the Senate AI Caucus, I'm pleased this bipartisan provision was passed by my Senate colleagues in the FY 2021 NDAA conference report to ensure we are cognizant of the standards the U.S. is setting with regards to AI competition with China,said Portman.This provision will push the Department of Defense to be forward-thinking about their investments in AI and how to strategically work with the public and private sector to develop and mature our own capabilities. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly critical to national security, the U.S. must lead the effort to set global standards for its development and implementation, said Bennet. I'm thrilled this provision to direct the Department of Defense to report to Congress on its critical role in developing a coherent strategy to set standards for artificial intelligence in national security and the defense industrial base has been included in the NDAA. NOTE:As co-founder and co-chair of the Senate Artificial Intelligence Caucus, Portman has helped lead efforts in the Senate on this issue, and has worked in a bipartisan manner onseveral key measuresto set high-quality standards around emerging technology, including cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
