U.S. Senator from Washington
Small businesses are the foundation of our economy and AI has the potential to help them maximize opportunities. As AI tools become more accessible and more powerful, we need to make sure entrepreneurs in Washington state and across the country have the training and technical support they need to integrate these tools to better compete, grow and create jobs in a rapidly evolving marketplace.AI Verified source (2026)

AI Verified
This opinion was created during this verification session from a web-search-confirmed source. The source_url (commerce.senate.gov/2026/2/...) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but web search confirmed the quote VERBATIM as Senator Maria Cantwell's statement on the Feb 2026 reintroduction of the bipartisan Small Business Artificial Intelligence Training Act of 2026: "Small businesses are the foundation of our economy and AI has the potential to help them maximize opportunities. As AI tools become more accessible and more powerful, we need to make sure entrepreneurs in Washington state and across the country have the training and technical support they need to integrate these tools to better compete, grow and create jobs in a rapidly evolving marketplace." Author (Maria Cantwell, U.S. Senator from Washington) and year (2026) are correct and recent. The quote supports incentivizing AI adoption for small businesses with training/workforce support, correctly aligning with the "for" vote on the statement "Incentivizing AI adoption in companies to enhance workforce talent." Corroborating sources: commerce.senate.gov, cantwell.senate.gov.
