Science Subcommittee Chairman Announces Hearing on AI Strategy for September 10th
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Science, Manufacturing, and Competitiveness, will convene a subcommittee hearing titled “AI’ve Got a Plan: America’s AI Action Plan” on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 10:00 am EST. This hearing will examine President Trump’s artificial intelligence strategy, Winning the Race: America’s AI Action Plan, which emphasizes the need for accelerated development and deployment of American AI products to preserve the United States’ competitive advantage over China, achieve global AI dominance, and usher in a new golden age of human flourishing that will increase the standard of living for all Americans. The hearing will also explore legislative actions to foster AI innovation by preventing overregulation, streamlining the development of American AI infrastructure, and strengthening U.S. leadership on the global stage.
Upon announcing the hearing, Senator Budd said, “To win the AI race against China, we must unleash the full potential of American innovation. As the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Science, Manufacturing, and Competitiveness, prioritizing AI advancement without subjecting this technology to overregulation is critical to maintaining America’s competitive edge. I look forward to hearing from Director Kratsios as we examine how the White House’s AI Action Plan will allow Congress to collaborate with the administration on AI policy to accelerate innovation to create new jobs, improve our nation’s technological infrastructure, and ensure America leads the world into the next age of AI development.”
“AI promises to be as transformative as the internet, unleashing a new global industrial revolution that could unlock opportunities for improving quality of life, creating jobs, and stimulating economic growth. The country that leads in AI will shape the 21st century global order. The President’s AI Action Plan is a bold step towards asserting American leadership in AI and thwarting efforts by China to attain global dominance. Congress must work alongside the President to adopt a legislative framework that promotes long-term AI growth and innovation. This hearing will provide the opportunity to discuss the ways this Committee can support the administration’s critical efforts to ensure America leads the way in the AI race,” Senator Cruz said.
