This bill would create a temporary, bipartisan advisory group to study how artificial intelligence is affecting the U.S. economy. The group would write two public reports — an early one within 7 months and a full final one within 13 months — with specific recommendations for new laws. It would shut down 120 days after delivering its final report.
The group would have 12 members appointed by Congressional leaders, plus four nonvoting representatives from the Departments of Education, Labor, Commerce, and Treasury. Workers whose jobs could be disrupted by AI, businesses that use or compete with AI, and policymakers would be most directly affected.
Congress would receive concrete proposals on topics such as worker retraining, unemployment insurance, education, taxation, manufacturing, transportation safety, and energy demand. The four cabinet departments would each be required to respond in writing within 60 days of receiving the final report.
