Summary:
En juin 2025, les États-Unis ont introduit le H.R.3679 – Loi sur l’avancement de l’intelligence artificielle pour les petites entreprises, parrainée par le représentant Mike Collins, qui a été attribuée au Comité de la science, de l’espace et de la technologie de la Chambre. L’objectif du projet de loi est de faire progresser les capacités de l’IA au sein des petites entreprises dans le cadre d’un domaine politique plus large en matière de science, de technologie et de communication. Les points clés incluent son approbation unanime pour être rapporté (amendé) par un vote de 35 à 0 lors d’une réunion du comité le 11 juin 2025, et actuellement, son statut reste ‘Introduit’. Les développements futurs incluent une éventuelle considération et des débats supplémentaires à mesure que le projet de loi progresse à travers les étapes législatives.

The introduction of H.R.3679, also known as the Small Business Artificial Intelligence Advancement Act (119th Congress, 2025-2026), marks a significant step forward in fostering AI adoption among small businesses in the United States. Introduced by Representative Mike Collins [R-GA-10] on June 3, 2025, the bill represents a key effort aimed at democratizing access to artificial intelligence technologies and ensuring that small enterprises are not left behind in the rapidly advancing AI landscape. With its current status labeled as “Introduced,” the bill has already gained traction, receiving unanimous approval (35-0) in a House Science, Space, and Technology Committee meeting held on June 11, 2025.
Legally, H.R.3679 is rooted in the principle of advancing technological equity while maintaining alignment with broader legislative frameworks such as the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 and provisions of the America COMPETES Act. By targeting small business access to AI tools, the proposed bill addresses gaps often seen in technology adoption due to financial and infrastructural limitations. It also emphasizes economic growth and competitiveness in line with U.S. antitrust laws that promote market fairness and inclusivity. The inclusion of Constitutional Authority Statements and CBO Cost Estimates further strengthens its legislative structure.
The ethical considerations surrounding this bill are equally compelling. Artificial intelligence has often been criticized for being disproportionately available to large corporations with ample resources. Smaller businesses, which are vital for community economic health, often lack the necessary funding or expertise to implement AI solutions. This bill seeks to rectify this disparity by creating opportunities for small enterprises to access AI technologies. However, ethical challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and potential misuse of AI tools must be addressed vigilantly. The legislation should, therefore, compel developers and businesses to uphold ethical AI usage standards, possibly drawing from frameworks like the AI Bill of Rights proposed in earlier policy discussions.
The implications for the industry are multifaceted. For one, the bill could spur increased collaboration between AI developers and small businesses, creating a more diverse technology market landscape. For example, small retailers could use AI for personalized marketing, while local manufacturers might streamline operations with predictive analytics tools. This democratization of AI could lead to economic revitalization, particularly in rural and underserved areas reliant on small business networks. However, technology providers would also need to adapt by offering less capital-intensive and user-friendly AI solutions tailored to small-business needs.
In conclusion, H.R.3679 represents a significant legislative effort to bridge the technological divide within the business ecosystem, fostering more equitable growth and innovation. While its impact remains to be fully realized, the groundwork for legal, ethical, and industry reforms signals a positive trajectory for small businesses seeking to integrate artificial intelligence into their operations.
