America relies on scientific innovation for economic growth & progress, and I’m so proud that much of that innovation occurs right here in the Research Triangle. That’s why I sent a letter to President Biden urging him to designate a National Science Day.
AI has the potential to enhance the lives of our people, but it also poses serious security threats. That's why I'm proud to introduce legislation with Rep. Don Beyer to regulate and track AI risk incidents and better mitigate threats. ross.house.gov/2024/9/ross-be…
Passed out of Science Committee Democrats committee ✅ My bill with Rep. Don Beyer and Rep. Jay Obernolte, the AI Incident Reporting and Security Enhancement Act, will tackle core AI security challenges to ensure that we can use this new technology to improve lives without jeopardizing safety.
Once again, extremists in the Republican conference pushed us to the brink of a government shutdown, and once again, House Democrats stepped in to prevent a catastrophe for the American people.
The PACT Act provided relief to individuals exposed to contaminated water while serving at Camp Lejeune. But of the 500,000+ claims filed, few have been settled & none have gone to trial. Our veterans deserve better. More in my op-ed w/ Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D.⬇️ rollcall.com/2024/09/26/jus…
Glad to see our bill pass out of Science Committee Democrats! Congress cannot afford to be behind the curve when it comes to AI and ensuring the proper guardrails are in place to mitigate risk.
As Hurricane Helene approaches, residents of Wake County can expect heavy rain, high winds, and potential flash flooding. Please stay alert and follow NWS Raleigh for updates. Be prepared and stay safe. readync.gov/hurricaneguide…
Thank you President Biden for quickly approving NC’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration. Western NC has been hit hard and we are working together rapidly to save lives, surge assistance and begin a difficult recovery. - RC governor.nc.gov/news/press-rel…
Earlier I received a briefing from Governor Roy Cooper and Deanne Criswell Criswell. With federal support, the state has reopened 220 roads; personnel are supporting search and rescue, debris removal, and power restoration; and FEMA is registering people for disaster assistance.
