Finally, we must seize the extraordinary possibilities this technology offers. AI could help scientists discover lifesaving drugs, detect diseases earlier, accelerate scientific breakthroughs, transform education, increase the productivity of American workers, help small businesses compete, and give millions of people access to capabilities that were once available only to those with wealth and power. But none of these positive outcomes are possible without action by the government to make sure AI is safe, trusted by people, and that its benefits are broadly shared.
Support government action to ensure AI is safe, trusted, and broadly beneficial rather than concentrating wealth and power among a small number of firms.

Assessments
The verified commitment calls for government action to make AI safe, trusted, and broadly beneficial. Verified evidence shows Booker advocated for that action and was associated with introduced AI-related legislation, including the CREATE AI Act and Algorithmic Accountability Act, so effort is documented. But the verified passages do not establish enactment or a concrete partial policy outcome attributable to Booker; introducing or supporting bills is effort, not delivery of the broader outcome. The White House revocation passage also does not show Booker delivered the promised result. With no deadline expired and no enacted attributable outcome proven, the status remains unresolved.
