周二晚间,美国众议院通过了一项法案,要求政府为小型企业提供更多人工智能(AI)教育获取途径。

《面向大众的人工智能法案》以395票对14票的结果获得广泛两党支持通过。11名共和党人和3名民主党人投了反对票。

“大众正站在重大变革的门槛上,因为人工智能革命不仅即将到来,它已经来了。”该法案提案人、密苏里州共和党众议员马克·奥尔福德(Rep. Mark Alford)在法案通过后的声明中表示。

“我们确保创业者和就业创造者不会被落下。我们的《面向大众的人工智能法案》将为小型企业提供负责任地利用人工智能所需的资源、教育和培训。”

《面向大众的人工智能法案》将指示小企业管理局(SBA)及其小型企业发展中心(SBDCs)通过提供培训和推广活动,帮助初创企业学习采用人工智能技术。

该法案纳入了SBDCs已有的框架中。

根据SBA的说法,SBDCs的存在是为了帮助小型企业获取资金、交流新技术信息、改进商业计划,并管理财务和人事行政。

该法案未为其关于人工智能的新指令分配任何额外资金。

奥尔福德表示,他担心规模大得多的公司会迅速整合人工智能技术,而较小的企业将难以采用新工具并被淘汰。

“我们希望小企业主不仅了解人工智能能做什么,还了解如何安全、合规、道德且有效地使用它。”奥尔福德在法案的国会辩论中表示。

The House of Representatives passed a bill that would require the government to create more access to artificial intelligence (AI) education for small businesses Tuesday evening.

The AI for Main Street Act passed with broad bipartisan support in a 395-14 vote. Eleven Republicans and three Democrats voted against the measure.

“Main Street stands at the doorstep of a major transformation because the AI revolution isn’t just coming, it’s already here,” Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., the bill’s sponsor, said in a statement after its passage.

“We’re ensuring entrepreneurs and job creators aren’t left behind. Our AI for Main Street Act will provide small businesses with the resources, education and training needed to responsibly utilize artificial intelligence.”

The AI for Main Street Act would direct the Small Business Administration (SBA) and its Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) to help startups learn to adopt AI technology by providing training and outreach.

The bill fits into the preexisting framework of the SBDCs.

According to the SBA, SBDCs exist to help small businesses access capital, exchange information on new technologies, improve business planning, and manage finances and personnel administration.

The SBA says it has at least 900 service locations that coordinate 62 SBDC centers nationwide.

The bill does not allocate any additional funding for its new directives on AI.

Alford said he feared that much larger companies would quickly integrate AI technologies while smaller enterprises would struggle to adopt new tools and get left behind.

“We want small business owners to understand not only what AI can do, but how to use it securely, safely, ethically and effectively,” Alford said in a floor speech on his bill.

“This bill is about empowering people, not replacing them. I’m proud to see the House pass our bipartisan bill to champion small businesses,” Alford added.

The bill, having cleared the House, heads to the Senate for consideration.
