Sen Cortez Masto Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to Support American Leadership in Innovation and Technology

Sens Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Steve Daines (R-MT) introduced the National Science, Innovation, and Technology Strategy Act (S.3015) to support US competitiveness in innovation and technology. The bipartisan legislation will ensure innovators and government agencies are working together to provide guidance on technological issues like artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, the digital divide in broadband, and smart communities. To do this, the bill would require a national strategy and regular national reviews to assess what the federal government is doing to maintain global leadership in science and technology. Analysis from this bill will help make advancements in these areas and provide guidance on the coordination of federal programs needed to address societal and national challenges.
