But there was no real solution to those problems, nothing that remediated ongoing mistrust,” “Now we’re at a point where we’ve got to have this participation by citizens from every demographic root, and we’re having to deal with this problem in terms of creating trust”

“To maintain our global competitive edge, win the future, and beat China, it’s crucial that the U.S. lead on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Quantum Computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging technologies,” “As we have seen in past global crises and in recent months, the Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to get ahead by stealing, cheating, and subsidizing their State-Owned Enterprises. We cannot out subsidize China or beat them at their own game, nor should we. Thank you to Rep. Rush for joining me in introducing this legislation to ensure America continues to lead the world when it comes to emerging technologies”
