What this bill does
H.R. 5288, the "AI Sovereignty Act," would require the Secretary of Commerce to produce reports on strategies related to the development and research of critical artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Within 240 days of the bill becoming law, the Secretary would need to identify locations where this development and research is being offshored, as well as partnerships between domestic and foreign entities for such offshore work. The reports would also examine the role of foreign nationals educated or trained in the U.S. who then work for foreign entities, and U.S. officials working for foreign entities, along with foreign acquisition of domestic AI assets.
The bill would also direct the Secretary to assess the implications of this offshore development and research on the U.S. economy, national security, and allies, as well as on adversaries like China and Russia. Based on these findings, the Secretary would recommend strategies to discourage offshore development, strengthen domestic efforts, and improve oversight of foreign acquisitions of AI technologies. The Secretary would also be required to submit updated reports annually.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to multiple committees: Foreign Affairs, Energy and Commerce, and Science, Space, and Technology. Its current status is "Introduced," meaning it has not yet been voted on by any committee or the full House.
