The American legislative system, with its Senate, House, filibuster, and one-person hold, relies on a trifecta (control of House, Senate, and presidency by one party) for significant legislation. Despite challenges like the undressed Taylor Swift threat and sex videos, bipartisan efforts are crucial. The hope is to sift through numerous bills at state and federal levels, like President Biden's historic executive orders establishing a Safety Institute at NIST, to identify crucial laws that protect citizens. The government's establishment of a group dedicated to safety and trust is a positive step towards addressing these issues.
At the age of 72, U.S. Representative Don Beyer of Virginia enrolled at GMU to pursue a Master’s degree in C.S. with a concentration in Machine Learning.
Rep. Beyer is Vice Chair of the bipartisan Artificial Intelligence Caucus & Vice Chair of the NDC’s AI Working Group. He is the author of the AI Foundation Model Transparency Act & a lead cosponsor of the CREATE AI Act, the Federal Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act & the Artificial Intelligence Environmental Impacts Act.
We hope you tune into this inspiring, nonpartisan conversation with Rep. Beyer about his decision to dive into the deep end of the AI pool & his leadership in bringing that expertise to Capitol Hill.
