Thank you, Senator @PattyMurray, for securing this critical funding that will help @UW stay on the cutting edge of AI research.

.@UW is leading the way in AI research—and the federal funding I secured will advance the cutting-edge work that’s already happening in a big way.

There's incredible potential here, but I also want to ensure AI works for the average American—not just CEOs & billionaires.
