Developers Alliance Joins Coalition Supporting “Creating Resources for Every American to Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act”

The Developers Alliance joined 12 other organizations urging Members of Congress to cosponsor the “Creating Resources for Every American to Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act” (CREATE AI Act, H.R. 5077). The legislation would create a shared national research infrastructure that provides AI researchers and students with access to the resources, data, and tools needed to develop safe and trustworthy AI. 

Washington, D.C., November 16, 2023 – The Developers Alliance has released the following statement addressing its support for the CREATE AI Act. 

Key Facts

  • The CREATE AI Act will empower small- and medium-sized firms to compete in the global AI marketplace by increasing access to resources, data, and tools, while lowering operating costs.
  • The CREATE AI Act will ensure cutting-edge AI research and development takes place in the United States.
  • Congress must pass this important legislation soon to help spur innovation, create jobs, and economic growth.

The following quote can be attributed to Geoffrey Lane, Head of U.S. Policy for the Developers Alliance:

“The CREATE AI Act is a commonsense approach to ensure smaller AI firms can compete both domestically and abroad. The bill would open up countless doors for small and mid-size developers to an arena that has traditionally been expensive and available to only the largest, most well-financed companies. Small businesses are the backbone of innovation, job creation, and economic growth. We urge Congress to pass this critical bill soon to help strengthen our small businesses and our AI ecosystem here in the United States.”
