AI is moving faster than Washington, and that has to change. I released a bipartisan discussion draft to create a federal AI strategy that will keep the most powerful AI models safe, protect American workers and make sure our innovators lead the world. I want to get this right, which is why I’m calling for folks to provide their input: GAAIA@mail.house.gov

CES 2026 showed how sophisticated today’s robots are. Now Nvidia, Unitree and Sharpa are teaming up on humanoid robots that can do real work in real settings. That is the future on display and a preview of CES 2027: innovators joining forces and using AI to help people live safer, healthier, more productive lives. techradar.com/ai-platforms-a…

AVs can save lives and cut congestion all while opening up safe, reliable transportation to more people. We should write rules that welcome this innovation, let companies test and compete and help AVs earn the trust of American drivers! nytimes.com/2026/04/30/opini…

“Protecting and strengthening GPS resilience is not just a tech debate. It is an economic and national security imperative.” America’s competitiveness, security and critical infrastructure rely on resilient GPS and PNT. Strengthening these systems means backing innovators and letting competition deliver the next generation of solutions. Important testimony from CTA’s J. David Grossman. cta.tech/media/ejqjpstd/cta-…

To all 2026 graduates (including my own son): stay curious, make a strong first impression, connect people, and never miss a chance to thank the teachers and family who helped shape you. Gratitude is not just a feeling. It is a habit. And it can change your life. I share some thoughts on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/posts/gary-shap…

Energy dominance fuels innovation dominance. CTA’s energy policy calls for modernizing America’s grid, streamlining permitting, embracing an all-of-the-above energy strategy and using technology, including AI, to drive efficiency. To lead in AI and the next era of innovation, America must have reliable, scalable and affordable energy. Read more: cta.tech/media/b11jcbw3/cta-…

“Failure is the great educator.” That is one point I shared with Robert Reiss for his Forbes piece on the entrepreneurial mindset. Constant success can breed arrogance. Failure teaches humility and resilience. That is true in business, in leadership and in life. forbes.com/sites/robertreiss…

The AM radio mandate in the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act moves us  in the wrong direction. Consumers should decide in-car entertainment and communication options. Mandating legacy tech  in every vehicle raises costs, freezes innovation, and discourages better alternatives.

CTA supports the CLARITY Act and its effort to establish clear rules for digital assets. From digital currencies to the blockchain technologies that power them, digital assets are becoming a major part of the U.S. economy and will shape the future of financial innovation.

Imagine a law to save more than 30,000 American lives and millions of hospital visits annually, while empowering disabled and older Americans. Congress now has the chance to do what China, Europe, and Japan began years ago: create a national law enabling self-driving cars nationwide.

Congress’ belated best shot to save American lives and prevent injuries

The SELF DRIVE Act would finally create a clear national framework so safe autonomous vehicles can operate across state lines.

AI is already lifting growth and productivity. This @WSJ editorial notes AI investment drove most of last quarter’s US GDP growth while tariffs fueled inflation and hurt consumers. Policymakers should double down on innovation and let the economy soar. Worth a read: wsj.com/opinion/economy-gdp-…
