The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (28 Oct 2025): Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
What this bill does
H.Res. 836 is a nonbinding resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should lead efforts to develop a regional artificial intelligence strategy for the Western Hemisphere. The resolution states that inclusive AI development—design that avoids racial and demographic bias and protects civil rights, privacy, and equal opportunity—should be a priority in U.S. domestic and foreign policy. It commends the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's "Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights" and calls for a "safe and responsible Regional AI Strategy in the Americas," domestic and international agreements governing AI systems, increased U.S. funding for AI research, education, and infrastructure in the hemisphere, common ethical standards for AI development, and greater cooperation with organizations such as the Organization of American States and the Inter-American Development Bank.
The resolution primarily concerns U.S. government agencies involved in international development, science and technology policy, and foreign affairs, as well as countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. It does not create new laws, funding, or regulations, but calls on federal agencies to prioritize certain policies and international partnerships regarding AI.
As a simple resolution, H.Res. 836 does not require presidential approval and would not have the force of law even if passed; it expresses the House's position rather than mandating action. It was introduced on October 28, 2025, and referred to the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and on Science, Space, and Technology. No further action has yet been taken, and the next step would be committee consideration before any potential vote by the full House.
