House AI Task Force Charts Path for U.S. Policy in Sweeping Report

The 253-page document outlines recommendations across 14 sectors, addressing both opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence.

The bipartisan report, led by Reps. Jay Obernolte and Ted Lieu, aims to guide future AI legislation and regulation in Congress.
It emphasizes the importance of leveraging existing sectoral regulators, like the FDA, rather than creating a new AI-specific regulatory body.
Key recommendations include addressing intellectual property issues, combating AI-generated deepfakes, and clarifying legal responsibilities for synthetic content creators.
The task force highlights the transformative potential of AI in areas like health care and national security, while cautioning against risks to privacy, civil rights, and security.
Lawmakers stress the need for transparency in government AI use and propose collaborative research programs to mitigate risks from flawed or harmful AI systems.
