Comment by Chris Coons

The rest of the 21st Century will be determined by who wins the AI race, and whether this technology is built on American values of free thought and free markets or the values of the Chinese Communist Party. As China races to close our lead in AI, we cannot give them the technological keys to our future through advanced semiconductor chips. This bipartisan bill will protect America’s advantage in computing power so that the world’s most next generation AI models are built at home by American companies, and the world’s infrastructure is built on the American tech stack.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified: the supplied Ricketts Senate press release dated December 4, 2025 contains this passage verbatim and attributes it to Senator Chris Coons (“said Senator Coons”). Coons’s own Senate press release for the same bill on the same date repeats the same wording and attribution. ([ricketts.senate.gov](https://www.ricketts.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ricketts-coons-introduce-safe-chips-act/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 6d ago
AI Verified Quote attributed to U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-DE), 2025, co-lead sponsor of the SAFE Chips Act of 2025 (S.3374), from the introducing press release. The Senate source URL returns HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search independently confirmed Coons made this exact statement verbatim ("The rest of the 21st Century will be determined by who wins the AI race, and whether this technology is built on American values of free thought and free markets or the values of the Chinese Communist Party. As China races to close our lead in AI, we cannot give them the technological keys to our future through advanced semiconductor chips."); the remainder about the bipartisan bill protecting America's computing advantage is consistent with the bill's purpose. Year 2025 current. Author attribution correct (Coons is co-lead sponsor with Ricketts). Vote "for" on "Giving Congress power to block AI chip exports to adversaries" correctly aligns: Coons supports codifying limits on advanced chip exports to China. Quote is relevant and reflects the statement's meaning. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 12d ago
