AI Commission

House Democrats are launching the Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy to lead federal policy on artificial intelligence as firms ramp up lobbying and a $100 million AI‑backed super‑PAC targets the 2026 midterms. Led by Reps. Ted Lieu, Josh Gottheimer and Valerie Foushee, the commission will convene industry, stakeholders and committees to craft a unified legislative agenda, address state‑level regulatory conflicts, and focus on a federal risk‑assessment framework, data‑sharing sandbox, and secure AI‑hardware supply chains. The effort aims to provide clearer oversight, boost venture funding and protect national security.
