2023
There has been a notable surge in bipartisan enthusiasm regarding artificial intelligence in the past year. Over thirty new legislative measures regarding AI have been proposed this session, with nearly thirty sessions conducted by both House and Senate committees to discuss related issues. Several senators from both parties have released their frameworks for a comprehensive regulatory approach to AI. Likewise, proposals focused primarily on the internal application of AI in federal agencies have been voted on and passed through committees.artificial intelligence Meanwhile, the administration led by Biden has announced plans to put forth an extensive executive order this autumn that aims to tackle a variety of threats posed by AI, adhering to the current legislative framework. Additionally, the Administration has secured voluntary commitments from fifteen technology firms to prioritize AI safety and transparency during the development of their systems.
The future of comprehensive AI regulation remains uncertain due to the absence of a clear consensus. However, there are over a dozen bipartisan proposals across both Congressional chambers addressing a wide range of AI-related topics. So far, targeted legislative efforts have surfaced, aimed at safeguarding U.S. elections against deepfakes and misleading AI-generated content, bolstering the nation's position in AI research and development, securing national security, mandating AI usage disclosures, and examining the impact of AI on American employment—all while facilitating its judicious use by the federal government. With growing interest and support from both sides of the aisle, it appears likely that at least some of these focused AI proposals may soon become law.
