Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Talent Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security, working with the White House science office and the Secretary of State, to develop and publish a strategy within 180 days on immigration policies for attracting, admitting, keeping, and vetting foreign talent in artificial intelligence and other technologies, and on building skills among U.S. citizens. The strategy must assess current barriers, review security screening, set progress measures, and recommend administrative and legislative changes, including changes to the H-1B visa lottery and cap and a possible new visa for entrepreneurs. The strategy would go to Congress in unclassified form, with an optional classified annex. Within 2 years after submitting it, the Secretary would have to report on how the strategy has been carried out.
