What this bill does
The RISE Act of 2025, introduced in the Senate, proposes to establish immunity from civil lawsuits for certain developers of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This immunity would apply if a developer publicly shares detailed technical information about their AI product, including its training data, evaluation methods, limitations, and risk mitigations, through a "model card" and "model specification." Developers would also need to provide clear documentation to users about known limitations and appropriate uses of the AI. This immunity would only apply when the AI is used by a "learned professional"—such as a licensed doctor or lawyer—in providing services to clients, and would not cover cases of recklessness, willful misconduct, fraud, or knowing misrepresentation by the developer.
The bill aims to address what it identifies as a lack of clarity regarding liability for AI errors, which could hinder the integration of these technologies into professional services like healthcare, law, and finance. By providing this conditional immunity, the bill's findings suggest it would encourage responsible innovation. The act would also preempt similar state law claims that fall under the defined immunity.
As of its introduction on June 12, 2025, S. 2081 has been referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The bill must be considered and passed by this committee, then by the full Senate, and subsequently by the House of Representatives before it could be sent to the President for signature into law.
