AI Summary

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that creators and digital workers, who are individuals earning income through online platforms as independent contractors or small businesses, deserve fair treatment and economic opportunity. It highlights that these workers often face challenges such as unclear compensation, limited transparency regarding platform policies and algorithms that affect their earnings and reach, and a lack of portable benefits like healthcare and retirement plans. The resolution supports providing these workers with access to affordable and portable benefits, clear revenue-sharing terms with platforms, the ability to maintain direct relationships with their audiences, robust small business resources, protection against worker misclassification, accessible customer support and appeal processes, and transparency and accountability standards for the use of artificial intelligence and synthetic media that impact their livelihoods.
