HOUSE AI COMMISSION JOINT STATEMENT ON PROPOSED DISCUSSION DRAFT ON AI

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, June 4, 2026, the House Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy Co-Chairs Congressman Ted Lieu (D-Los Angeles County), Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (D-NC), and Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) released the following statement:

"While we appreciate the bipartisan effort from Representatives Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan, their proposed discussion draft on AI does not meet the enormity of the moment. We do not support the discussion draft as it currently stands.

The House Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy has spent months working closely with our colleagues and key stakeholders from civil society organizations, industry, labor, academia, and others addressing AI issues. Many of those same organizations share our view that this document cannot serve as the basis for productive dialogue.

We look forward to continuing this discussion and developing thoughtful AI policies that protect the American people and drive American innovation."
