Negotiators aiming to unveil draft of bipartisan House AI bill by week’s end

Rep. Jay Obernolte is aiming to unveil a long-awaited discussion draft of bipartisan legislation that would impose a federal regulatory framework on artificial intelligence by the end of the week. The draft is the result of ongoing negotiations among House lawmakers to establish federal oversight of AI.

The bill is described as a 'discussion draft,' meaning it is a preliminary version intended to solicit feedback before formal introduction. It aims to create a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for AI, addressing issues such as safety, transparency, and accountability. The bipartisan nature of the effort suggests support from both parties, though specific provisions have not yet been released.

Obernolte's office did not provide additional details on the bill's content or scope ahead of the planned unveiling.
