Comment by Martin Heinrich
U.S. Senator from New Mexico; leading voice on bipartisan AI policy in the Senate
The CREATE AI Act will help us develop and deploy AI responsibly, while also unleashing American innovation by expanding access to the tools needed to conduct cutting-edge research. But as we push this technology forward, we must also take seriously our responsibility to rein in its potential harms — putting the right safeguards in place to ensure AI is used safely, ethically, and in the public interest.

Verified. WebFetch on the heinrich.senate.gov URL returned HTTP 403, but targeted web searches confirmed the quote matches Senator Martin Heinrich's statement on the CREATE AI Act reintroduction at the exact source URL ("help us develop and deploy AI responsibly... unleashing American innovation by expanding access... rein in its potential harms... safely, ethically, and in the public interest"). Author attribution is correct (U.S. Senator from New Mexico, lead sponsor). The bill establishes the NAIRR, which funds public AI research and supports testing, benchmarking, and evaluation of AI systems as a public good, so his vote "for" the statement "Governments should fund open-source AI safety tools and red-teaming infrastructure as public goods" aligns. The reintroduction press release is recent (late April / early May 2026 per metadata age), so year 2026 is correct. Source URL is the senator's official press release (primary source).
