On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 'Accelerating Deployment of Critical and Emerging Technologies Infrastructure Act'. This legislative move is geared towards streamlining the federal approval procedures for artificial intelligence (AI) projects. By amending the National Environmental Policy Act, the bill effectively reduces the review period to a maximum of 150 days. This streamlined approach has received backing from prominent tech giants, including OpenAI and Microsoft. The bill now awaits deliberation and potential approval in the Senate.
