RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
POOL
Washington, DC – 10 September 2025
1. Wide of Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Science hearing
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Kratsios, Director, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
"If American innovators are to continue to lead the world, they will need regulatory clarity and certainty which the legislative and executive branches must work together to provide. In the creation of regulatory sandboxes for early product development to the clear application of interstate commerce principles to prevent Balkanized rulemaking that chokes product adoption, together we can find common sense, pro-growth protections for American workers, families and children while freeing inventors to do what they do best. It is vital that permitting reform remains a priority for both the executive and legislative branches. As a president has said, it is time to build, build, build. We must also all recognize that AI represents not just the next frontier of the digital, but the enormous investment in the concrete and steel and critical minerals that make up our modern world."
3. Cutaway of hearing
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Ted Budd, (R) North Carolina / Subcommittee Chairman
"We must ensure that our AI policy is anchored in maximizing economic opportunity for Americans. And I’m not just talking about the billionaires in Silicon Valley. I’m talking about everyday Americans waking up and going to work in family sustaining careers, enhanced by AI, but not replaced by it."
5. Cutaway of hearing
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Ted Cruz, (R) Texas
"AI is transformative. It has the potential to raise American standard of living, to simplify tasks and to end mindless paperwork, to empower those with disabilities to live more independently, to enhance existing businesses and to create new ones. Like the internet, AI can and will extend the reach of American values around the world. But make no mistake, America is in an AI race with China."
7. Cutaway of hearing
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Gary Peters, (D) Michigan
"However, just recently, the chief data officer for the Social Security Administration Disclosed to my committee that he was forced to resign after notifying us that DOGE is jeopardizing the social security data of over 300 million Americans. It’s actually quite stunning though, the lack of protections to this data that we’ve seen as a result of their activities and more of that will become public in the days ahead. So my question for you, sir, is can you explain how Americans can trust this plan when the administration has shown it can’t handle are most sensitive data."
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Kratsios, Director, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
"I’m not familiar with that particular example, but data protection is critically important, and I know that our administration’s work across implementation of AI across all of our agencies takes that extraordinarily seriously."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Gary Peters, (D) Michigan
"Well, you have to demonstrate it. It’s it’s nice words and rhetoric is always very nice. But if you don’t demonstrate that you’re actually making it a priority, I don’t think any of us can believe that it is a priority."
10. Cutaway of hearing
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Tammy Baldwin, (D) Wisconsin
