Such study shall involve, among other things, (1) listing industry sectors that develop and use artificial intelligence and public-private partnerships focused on promoting the adoption and use of such technology, (2) establishing a list of federal agencies asserting jurisdiction over such industry sectors and entities and determining how these agencies are reducing barriers to business adoption and use of artificial intelligence, and (3) assessing risks and trends in the marketplace and supply chain of artificial intelligence. Commerce must report to Congress the results of such study and any recommendations to promote the adoption of artificial intelligence.

AI Summary

This bill, the Generating Artificial Intelligence Networking Security (GAINS) Act, requires the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to conduct a comprehensive study on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning, on U.S. businesses conducting interstate commerce. The study will involve surveying industry sectors using AI, identifying federal agencies with jurisdiction over these sectors, and assessing risks and trends in the AI marketplace and supply chain. The aim is to identify barriers to business adoption of AI, develop strategies to promote its use, and mitigate potential risks to the U.S. economy and national security. The bill also requires the agencies to report the study's findings and recommendations to Congress, which may include proposals for new legislation to advance the adoption of AI.
