Summary

The ASSESS AI Act is a 2023 Senate bill directing the President to establish an 18-month task force to evaluate privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties implications of federal AI use. The task force would identify regulatory and policy gaps and recommend legislative reforms to ensure AI systems comply with constitutional protections. It represents a congressional effort to proactively address governance gaps before AI-related harms proliferate in government applications.

Key Points

  • Establishes a presidential task force to assess privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties risks from federal AI systems over an 18-month period.
  • Task force would identify existing policy and regulatory gaps in how federal AI applications collect, process, and use data.
  • Recommends legislative and regulatory reforms to ensure AI use aligns with constitutional protections: free expression, equal protection, privacy, and due process.
  • Task force may engage private sector representatives and can recommend similar bodies for other emerging technologies.
  • Introduced in April 2023 as part of growing congressional attention to responsible AI governance in federal agencies.
