What this bill does
The GOOD AI Act of 2021 (S. 3035) directs the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to strengthen federal guidance on how agencies acquire and use artificial intelligence. The bill requires the OMB Director, when updating existing government-wide AI guidance under the AI in Government Act of 2020, to consider recommendations from the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, principles from a 2020 executive order on trustworthy AI, and input from privacy and civil liberties experts and relevant interagency councils. It also requires OMB to establish an "Artificial Intelligence Hygiene Working Group" within 45 days of enactment, made up of members from existing interagency councils, and to develop within one year a system for ensuring AI-related contracts protect privacy, civil rights, data ownership, and security against misuse or tampering.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies, their AI contracting practices, and OMB's oversight role; it does not regulate private-sector AI directly. It would also require OMB to periodically update these requirements and brief congressional oversight committees on progress, with most provisions expiring automatically after four or ten years.
Sponsored by Senator Gary Peters, the bill was introduced in the Senate in October 2021 and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which reported it favorably with an amendment in February 2022. The bill did not receive a floor vote before the end of the 117th Congress and would need to be reintroduced to be considered further.
