It emphasizes leveraging the diversity within the Western Hemisphere for AI development and ensuring that AI technologies reflect democratic values and inclusivity.
Expected Effects
If enacted, this resolution would likely lead to increased US investment in AI research, development, and governance within the Western Hemisphere. This could result in the creation of new AI technologies that are more inclusive and equitable. It may also influence global AI governance frameworks, promoting a human-centric approach.

Constitutional Alignment
The resolution aligns with the Constitution's broad goals of promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty. It does not directly infringe upon any specific constitutional rights. However, the implementation of AI governance and regulations must be carefully considered to ensure compliance with the First Amendment (freedom of speech) and the Fourth Amendment (protection against unreasonable searches and seizures).
