What this bill would do
The AI for America Act seeks to establish a national strategy for artificial intelligence. It directs the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to create an action plan that includes milestones for leadership, workforce development, and research infrastructure. This plan requires biennial updates to keep congressional committees informed. Additionally, the bill tasks the Director with identifying regulatory barriers in sectors like healthcare, scientific research, and transportation. Finally, it mandates a report from NIST regarding ways to detect and prevent security risks and ideological bias in artificial intelligence.
