Bill > HR5388

This bill proposes a comprehensive national framework for artificial intelligence (AI) leadership in the United States, focusing on maintaining technological dominance, supporting innovation, and creating a temporary moratorium on state-level AI regulations. The bill defines key terms like AI, AI models, and automated decision systems, and establishes a policy that prioritizes American technological leadership while recognizing the need for responsible AI development. It requires the President to develop a National Artificial Intelligence Action Plan within 30 days of enactment, which must outline strategies for removing barriers to AI innovation, setting research and development goals, aligning risk management with national standards, and strengthening critical infrastructure and national security applications. The bill includes a five-year moratorium preventing states from enforcing laws that restrict AI models and systems engaged in interstate commerce, with exceptions for laws that facilitate AI deployment or do not impose substantive requirements beyond federal guidelines. The legislation aims to create a more uniform and predictable regulatory environment for AI technologies, support small businesses in adopting AI tools, and ensure that the United States remains a global leader in artificial intelligence innovation. The bill also mandates annual updates to Congress on the Action Plan's implementation and requires a review of existing executive actions to ensure consistency with the proposed policy.
