Promoting Responsible and Innovative AI Policy

INCOMPAS has been at the forefront of promoting open networks, open markets, and competition in telecommunications and technology.

The association’s AI advocacy will be rooted in our founding principle of competition and is aimed to ensure a robust ecosystem to promote competition and innovation throughout the entire technology stack.

What is INCOMPAS Doing?

Working in consultation with the INCOMPAS-affiliated Artificial Intelligence Competition Center, which has developed a national framework for harnessing the transformational power of AI, INCOMPAS will advocate on behalf of members in the following areas:

    • Economic Leadership & Innovation: Promote application agnostic and wide-ranging market competition—from cutting edge open source models to more established proprietary and closed products; pursue a more active role to develop US-based AI through availability of public datasets, computational power, and procurement reform; prepare the future workforce and support comprehensive retraining programs; and support the establishment of regional tech hubs beyond traditional centers to drive nationwide innovation.
    • Infrastructure Modernization: Drive a comprehensive “all-of-the-above” energy strategy that pairs robust fiber networks with abundant data center capacity; accelerate permitting processes for next-generation power infrastructure, transmission systems, and digital infrastructure, and leverage AI for improved spectrum management and allocation.
    • National Security: Harness America’s innate strengths in openness, innovation, and entrepreneurial talent to lead the global AI race; strengthen partnerships with allies while leading the development of AI applications for national defense; establish clear protocols for AI use in national security applications while protecting civil liberties; and develop comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks to protect our economy, businesses, and individuals.
    • Legal Framework & Consumer Protection: Enact federal privacy legislation to provide consistent consumer protections; define clear liability frameworks that appropriately assign responsibility across the AI value chain; and mitigate bias and protect civil rights.
