what was your thinking of stepping up for the national lab. >> there are 17 national labs in the unitedrse, i'm on science base and technology committee so we want to make sure that that kind of funding is in place that's our prosperity going forward and i don't know how many of you have been to the national labs, but they do a really good job and they're really, really necessary on science base and technology committee, for example, we deal with them a lot. we have that purview and so we play close attention to it and we want that kind of innovation coming. >> at one time the president says he wants more energy production and slash prices in half. that sounds good for for the companies in your districts, what do they think about that. >> i haven't had much input. they're going to watch and see, how long it takes and what exactly that means for their bottom line, how much energy they can ramp up, economy of savings, the more energy you produce the cheaper you can produce it, we'll see. >> tha [inaudible conversations] >> good morning. my name is matt daley, i'm the editor for political

toent ar memorandum of understanding to help streamline research efforts between the national labs and america's small businesses. the national laboratories across the united states provide the government with some of its most cutting edge research. at the same time our nation's small businesses contribute extensively to public and private sector research and development efforts. aligning research efforts between the d.o.e. and the s.b.a. would increase the efficiency of the national labs and better integrate small businesses' innovation into government research. so, mr. speaker, i urge all my colleagues to join me in voting for h.r. 788 and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlelady from new york is recognized. ms. velazquez: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise today in support of h.r. 788, the department of energy and s.b.a. research act. this legislation would allow s.b.a. and the department of energy to enter into an m.o.u. to formalize the research and development activities that are curre

not for regulatory environment here, but the one thing i would regulate, much like we do at our national labs, is i would demand a level of physical and cybersecurity around that most important intellectual property, the model weights and things like that. again, i wouldn't heavily regulate the entrepreneurial spirit. but i would regulate the security so that we maintain any breakthroughs belong to us and belong to the united states companies and eventually to the united states military and aren't easily stolen by our adversaries. >> i believe that the artificial intelligence technology is an national security technology, much as any any weapon system that we have, maybe even more important than any weapons system that we have, we have to maintain that advantage and keep it in a very, very, very secure place. and hopefully the artificial intelligence will be able to guard itself, ok? finally, do we have any rebound capability? in other words somebody attacks , you and then the response, the rebound to that is even worse than the than the attack. so that you know that if you punch me in the no

and so we're in this moment where multiple countries, multiple nation states, multiple labs have decided that that being at the frontier of ai is just fundamentally too important of a race to not be participating and wholehearted. and i think that's putting a lot of pressure on on multiple closed source folks. you know, clearly, openai is one of those labs that's done a bunch of great work. but i do think, you know, the open source ecosystem is putting a ton of downward pressure on pricing. it's putting a ton of forward pressure on, on on innovation. and i think the reality is that nation states aren't just going to sit around waiting to see what happens in the m&a market. the table stakes here are that you need your own sovereign ai. >> speaking of, we're talking a lot about open source. i feel like we're almost burying the lead. the impact of deep sea. i'm sure that's a big topic of conversation there at the ai action summit. what is the actual result of the development of deep sea? can the idea that china's caught up, now that we've had a few weeks just to kind of catch our breath and
