Election Integrity
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the rapid growth of the AI market and significant advancement in the capabilities of these technologies has exposed both their benefits and risks. How to address these risks remains a challenge, and the need for effective regulation has become apparent. Members of Congress agree.
The Brennan Center’s Artificial Intelligence Legislation Tracker aims to increase public awareness of the myriad proposed regulatory approaches to AI legislation by serving as a repository of such AI-related bills introduced by Congress. Given both the known and unknown risks of AI, it is critical that the public have easy access to information on how lawmakers are attempting to address concerns.
The tracker includes bills from the 118th and 119th Congress which, at their core, do at least one of the following: 1
Impose restrictions on or clarify the use of AI systems
Require evaluations of AI systems and/or their uses
Impose transparency, notice, and labeling requirements
Establish or designate a regulatory authority or individual to oversee AI systems
Protect consumers through liability measures
Direct the government to study AI
Impose restrictions on or requirements for the data underlying AI systems
Modify procurement policies that would affect government use of AI
Direct the government to use or augment its use of AI
The bills included address some of the most serious risks posed by AI systems, such as perpetuating discrimination and bias, opaque and untested operating systems, providing inaccurate information, undermining privacy, and enabling disinformation and manipulation of images, video, and audio to influence elections.
Just as artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, so is the legislative landscape. During the 118th Congress, lawmakers introduced over 150 bills concerning AI. None of these bills were passed into law. The 119th Congress promises new and reintroduced bills. 1
The tracker adds to the Brennan Center’s research on the risks AI poses to elections and the discriminatory impact of AI used in immigration, law enforcement social media monitoring, and facial recognition.
