Congress is preparing to take a significant step towards regulating AI at the national level, following on the heels of a robust UK AI law introduced last week. A bipartisan bill was introduced yesterday by Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), and Ken Buck (R-Colo.), aiming to establish a federal commission on AI.

The proposed legislation—Bill H.R.4223—requires Congress and the White House to assemble a 20-person “blue-ribbon commission.” This group—comprising representatives from government, industry, civil society, and the computer science field—will work on defining a comprehensive regulatory strategy.

Rep. Ted Lieu said his enthusiasm for the technology is tempered by some serious concerns.

“AI is doing incredible things for our society. But it could also do great harm if unregulated,” he tweeted while announcing the bill.

Rep. Ken Buck mirrored Lieu’s sentiments, acknowledging the profound potential of AI and its corresponding risks.

“Artificial Intelligence holds tremendous opportunity for individuals and our economy, but it also poses a great risk for our national security,” Buck tweeted. He also emphasized the importance of expert consultation before legislative action, and reiterated his commitment to working with other congresspeople on this critical issue.
