Ce qu'il fait
House committee of jurisdiction for NIST (and therefore CAISI), DOE Office of Science, NSF and federal AI R&D. Authorises NIST's AI programmes, conducts oversight hearings, and has produced the main House bills to put the US AI institute on a statutory footing. Can subpoena and compel testimony; cannot fine or adjudicate.
Ses responsabilités en matière d'IA
Non-defense federal R&D. Owns NIST (and therefore CAISI), NSF, OSTP, NASA, and the civilian side of DOE including the national labs. Send here: AI standards and measurement science, AI testing and evaluation methods, AI safety research funding, the National AI Research Resource, AI workforce and education, AI incident and flaw reporting, and federal AI R&D coordination. In the 119th Congress this committee has produced more reported AI legislation than any other House committee.

Évaluation franche
The whistleblower portal is the genuinely distinctive route here and is taken seriously — committee investigative staff follow up on credible insider accounts about federal programmes. The general email form is a low-yield channel. For legislative influence, the leverage is with the named subcommittee staff on Research and Technology, and with members' personal offices; a constituent request for a meeting outperforms any committee-level correspondence.

Notes
Because it authorises NIST, this committee — not a safety agency — is where the legal status and funding of CAISI is actually decided.
