U.S. Chamber policy experts made the case on Capitol Hill this week that smart policy on disaster preparedness and artificial intelligence improves Americans’ lives and strengthens businesses and communities.
Why it matters: Congress depends on the U.S. Chamber to share expertise, provide policy analysis, and promote collaboration between government and business. This leads to pro-growth policies that support jobs, lower costs, and improve lives for workers and families across the country.
What they said:
disaster becomes an economic crisis," said Chuck Chaitovitz, Vice President of Environmental Affairs and Sustainability, testifying before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
