will be essential to creating new job opportunities and stimulating the growth of new technology and innovation clusters to support United States leadership in artificial intelligence. (8) Incentivizing research and development across the private sector, particularly from smaller companies, will further strengthen the United States innovation ecosystem. (9) The United States is an attractive research and development partner because it is home to world-class universities, research institutes, and corporations. (10) Decades of experience show that joint work with foreign researchers can be done with great benefit and little detriment to United States economic and national security with the implementation of proper safeguards. (11) Artificial intelligence standards and measurement are essential to fostering artificial intelligence technologies that are safe, secure, reliable, and comport with the norms and values of the United States. (12) Metrics are how the artificial intelligence research community guides itself and prioritizes research. (13) Benchmark tests are necessary to understand the performance of an artificial intelligence system. (14) Current tests for measuring artificial intelligence range from vague and conceptual to well-defined and mature. (15) Artificial intelligence measurement methodologies are not static and will require periodic reexaminations and updates of testing methodologies to ensure that artificial intelligence systems are functioning according to best-known practices. (16) United States leadership in global artificial intelligence standards-setting will help ensure that artificial intelligence implementations are in accordance with United States strengths and comport with the interests and values of the United States. (17) Public engagement is necessary for developing voluntary consensus standards, guidelines, and frameworks to ensure diverse perspectives are considered. (b) Matters to consider (1) Federal funding It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the Federal
