U.S. Senator from Indiana (Republican); lead sponsor of the Senate AI OVERWATCH Act
We are in an AI arms race with the Chinese Communist Party that’s powered by advanced chips and the winner will determine the future of global military superiority. I’m leading the AI OVERWATCH Act to bolster President Trump’s national security strategy and ensure continued American AI dominance.
