On May 15, 2024, a 33-page AI roadmap was released by the Senate AI Working Group, chaired by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, proposing $32 billion in federal funding for non-military AI research and development.

The bipartisan report aims to secure cooperation from the Republican-controlled House to pass AI legislation ahead of the presidential election, focusing on regulating AI to combat issues like deep fakes and election disinformation.

The proposal emphasizes increased AI innovation funding, enforcement of existing AI laws, and addressing AI's impact on the U.S. workforce, particularly in healthcare and other non-defense sectors.

Policy priorities outlined in the report cover eight areas: innovation, workforce, elections, privacy, transparency, explainability, intellectual property, and AI risk prevention.

Despite the roadmap being the most comprehensive bipartisan recommendation by the legislative branch, critics express concerns over the insufficient rigor in governing AI systems.
