AI is spreading fast, but the U.S. still lacks one clear set of national rules. This cause pushes for a federal framework that makes AI systems more transparent, accountable, and fair. Winning means Congress passes strong, enforceable guardrails that reduce bias, protect privacy, and improve safety.
Why this matters now
AI is already being used in hiring, lending, and criminal justice. When these systems are wrong or biased, people can lose jobs, housing, money, or freedom.
Right now, there is no single national framework to set clear expectations for companies and protect the public. Polls show strong demand for action: 72% of Americans want more regulation of the AI industry, and nearly 60% have little or no confidence that companies will use AI responsibly.
