The House Foreign Affairs Committee, with broad bipartisan support, on Jan. 21 advanced for a full floor vote a bill that would give Congress oversight of foreign advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales.
Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.), chair of the committee, doubled down on his AI Overwatch Act after controversy erupted last week following a committee hearing about the AI race between the United States and China.
