H.R. 10152 is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on August 27, 2026, by Representative Gabe Evans from Colorado. The bill directs the Secretary of Commerce to promote the adoption and use of American open artificial intelligence (AI) models. This means the Department of Commerce would encourage businesses, organizations, and government agencies to utilize AI models developed in the United States that are openly accessible, aiming to boost domestic AI innovation and ensure these technologies are widely available.
H.R. 10152 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Gabe Evans (Republican) and is currently listed as “Reported by Committee”. It is classified under the Science, Technology, Communications policy area, one of 128 bills in that area we track this Congress.

While specific media coverage on H.R. 10152 is not yet available, similar initiatives have been positively received. For instance, the Federal Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act of 2023/2024 was praised for establishing guidelines to mitigate AI-related risks within the federal government. Such measures are seen as steps toward enhancing the safety and security of AI technologies deployed in public sectors. Additionally, the Create AI Act, which aimed to establish a National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource, garnered endorsements from major tech companies like OpenAI, Google, and IBM, indicating industry support for federal involvement in AI development.
Specific criticisms of H.R. 10152 are not yet available. However, previous AI-related legislation has faced concerns. For example, the NO FAKES Act, introduced to address issues related to AI-generated content, encountered challenges in advancing through Congress despite bipartisan support. This suggests that while there is recognition of the need for AI regulation, achieving consensus on the specifics can be difficult. Potential criticisms of H.R. 10152 might include debates over the balance between promoting open AI models and protecting intellectual property rights, as well as concerns about the government's role in influencing AI development and adoption.
The bill H.R. 10152 aims to promote the adoption of American open artificial intelligence models, which does not directly intersect with the primary donor industries of the sponsor, Gabe Evans. His top donor industries include Health Professionals, contributing a substantial $360,000,000, and Retired individuals, contributing $112,500,000. However, neither of these industries has a direct connection to artificial intelligence or technology sectors, indicating a low potential for conflicts of interest. The absence of PAC contributions also suggests that the funding is primarily from individual donors, which may further dilute the risk of undue influence related to this specific bill.
Given the lack of overlap between the bill's subject matter and the sponsor's donor industries, the risk score is set at 2, reflecting a low risk of conflicts of interest. Voters should be aware that while significant contributions from the Health Professionals sector exist, they do not appear to influence the legislative agenda concerning artificial intelligence, thus maintaining a degree of separation between financial interests and legislative action.
