Comment by Shelley Moore Capito
U.S. Senator from West Virginia
This commonsense bill will allow for a voluntary set of guidelines for AI, which will only help the development of systems that choose to adopt them. I look forward to getting this bill and our AI Research Innovation and Accountability Act passed out of the Commerce Committee soon.AI Verified source (2024)

Capito’s official Senate press release dated July 24, 2024, contains the exact text provided and attributes it to her with the sentence ending, “Senator Capito said.” That confirms the quote is real, verbatim, and correctly attributed to Shelley Moore Capito.

Verified: This is from Senator Shelley Moore Capito's press release in 2024 announcing the bipartisan VET AI Act with Senator John Hickenlooper. The capito.senate.gov URL was blocked by WebFetch, but Hickenlooper's matching press release and multiple news sources (FedScoop, BABL AI, SIIA, Benton Institute) confirm the bill's existence, the exact "voluntary set of guidelines" framing, and the reference to the AI Research Innovation and Accountability Act and Commerce Committee. Year 2024 is correct. The vote "against" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" aligns - Capito is championing a voluntary (not mandatory) framework for third-party AI audits, indicating she does not support mandates.
