WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chairs Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) and Tom Suozzi (NY-03) announced the formation of a new bipartisan Working Group on Artificial Intelligence and Evolving Technologies. The group will be led by Reps. Mike Lawler (NY-17) and Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), with Reps. Hillary Scholten (MI-03) and Blake Moore (UT-01) serving as Vice Leads. Rep. David Joyce (R-OH), Susie Lee (D-NV), Rob Bresnahan (R-PA), Steven Horsford (D-NV), Tom Kean (R-NJ), Angie Craig (D-MN), Maria Salazar (R-FL), and Scott Peters (D-CA) will all serve as additional Members of the Working Group. 

As artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies increasingly shape the workplace, the marketplace, national security, education, and critical infrastructure, the Problem Solvers Caucus is committed to advancing responsible policies that strengthen American competitiveness while protecting consumers, workers, and small businesses.

The Working Group will focus on developing clear, practical guardrails that promote accuracy, transparency, and integrity in AI systems while allowing American innovation to continue to lead. Members will also examine how Congress can help workers and small businesses succeed in an AI-enabled economy, address the misuse of emerging technologies that could undermine elections or public trust, protect families and consumers from harmful or deceptive applications, and strengthen national security.

“I'm honored to co-lead the new Problem Solver's Caucus AI Working Group,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05). “As Co-Chair of the House AI Commission, I’ve met with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, academia, civil society, and industry. One thing is clear: getting AI policy right is critical to our future — to American children, families, our national security, and our global competitiveness.  We can win the AI race — but we must do it in a smart way with commonsense guardrails and rules of the road.”

“Artificial intelligence is transforming our economy, workforce, and national security, and the United States must lead, not China. But leadership means more than just innovating first; it means developing these technologies responsibly. We need commonsense guardrails that protect Americans, empower workers and small businesses, and ensure AI remains secure, transparent, and trustworthy. That’s what this Working Group is about: bringing Democrats and Republicans together to advance American innovation and keep our country at the forefront of this technology,” said Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17). 

“The rapid development of artificial intelligence and the recent, grave threats to our nation’s cybersecurity are warning signs that cannot be ignored any longer,” said Congresswoman Hilary Scholten (MI-03). “I have been working for years on making sure American businesses have the tools they need to understand AI and use it responsibly, and I am honored to vice-chair this crucial working group to exercise Congress’s regulatory responsibility over the technology and establish much-needed guardrails. While we can and should lead the world in AI development, we also must protect ourselves and hold the companies developing it accountable.”

“Artificial intelligence presents great opportunities, but also immense challenges. It is imperative that Congress represents the best interests of the American people as this technology evolves. I look forward to rolling up my sleeves with the PSC Artificial Intelligence Working Group to do this important work," said Congressman Blake Moore (UT-01).

“The answer to the AI question is not ‘hands off, do nothing,” nor is it ‘shut it down.’ The Problem Solvers Caucus is trying to find a bipartisan answer to one of the modern day’s biggest challenges. We need to find a balance between the extremes and our new working group will lead the way,” said Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Congressman Tom Suozzi (NY-03).

“Artificial intelligence presents enormous opportunity and equally serious questions, and neither political party has a monopoly on the answers. Our challenge is to embrace innovation without abandoning responsibility—to protect workers, strengthen our national security, preserve accountability, and ensure America continues to lead the world,” said Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01). “Finding common ground and translating it into responsible, durable policy is the work the Problem Solvers Caucus was built to do—and precisely the mission of this working group.”
