Its AI responsibilities
The House door for AI export controls and AI diplomacy. Unlike the Senate — where export-control statute sits in Banking — the House routes AI chip export legislation through Foreign Affairs. Send here: export licensing for advanced AI chips and model weights, entity listings, allied controls coordination, State Department AI policy, and AI in foreign influence operations.
