Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore appeared on Bloomberg TV to talk about how the U.S. can win the next era of innovation. Topics discussed included artificial intelligence and the need for a federal privacy law. You can watch Moore’s appearance here and see key quotes below:

TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore on AI:

 “All of the companies that I work with, and all the federal policymakers I work with, understand the great potential of AI.”

“It can help us solve a lot of issues and a lot of problems that we face, but it will take some time for federal policymakers to put some regulations in place. I think that we’ll see that in the coming year.”

“All of our American technology companies are very focused on the safe, responsible rollout of artificial intelligence.”

“You’ve seen all kinds of frameworks put out, especially by Google and Microsoft, that really lays out the responsible and safe use of artificial intelligence, and I think that’s the right way to go.”

TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore on the need for a federal data privacy law:

 “Right now, we have nine states already that have enacted their own privacy laws…TechNet is very involved with federal policymakers on a daily basis, advocating for one national standard. We want one national privacy law that will give all businesses in America the rules of the road that they need to adhere to, their responsibilities, and also so consumers will know their data is protected and they know exactly what to expect.”
