What this bill does

This bill, the Advancing American AI Act, directs federal agencies to develop more consistent, transparent approaches to using artificial intelligence. It would have the Office of Management and Budget update government-wide guidance on AI use, drawing on input from privacy and civil liberties experts and existing interagency councils. Agencies would generally be required to inventory their current and planned AI use cases, assess them against federal guidance, and make information about these uses publicly available where practicable, subject to privacy, national security, and law enforcement protections. The bill also addresses procurement, including revising Department of Homeland Security processes for reviewing AI systems' privacy and civil liberties impacts, training DHS Inspector General staff on AI oversight, and extending certain acquisition authorities related to innovative commercial technologies.

The bill primarily affects federal agencies, their leadership, and oversight bodies such as inspectors general, as well as companies contracting with the government on AI-related technology. It aims to standardize how agencies evaluate, deploy, and disclose AI systems while safeguarding privacy and civil liberties, and to support agencies in piloting AI applications for tasks like supply chain management and workforce development.

The bill was introduced in April 2021 and reported by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in December 2022 with amendments. According to the official CRS summary, its provisions were ultimately incorporated into other legislation that was enacted, meaning this bill itself did not proceed to a separate final vote or become law on its own.
