Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Federal AI plan with milestones
If enacted, the White House science office would file a national AI Action Plan by July 31, 2027. The plan would set measurable milestones for AI leadership, workforce training, and safer AI that avoids security risks and ideological bias. It would also lay out how to modernize civilian AI research tools and build partnerships with DOE, NASA, NIST, and NSF. The plan would be updated at least every two years and sent to House Science and Senate Commerce committees.
Federal report on AI risks and bias
If enacted, the national standards agency would report within one year on how to detect and prevent AI security risks and ideological bias. The report would describe options like internal reviews, third‑party audits, and public disclosures. It would list the criteria federal agencies use and any fixes they take. It would go to House Science and Senate Commerce committees and could be part of an update to NIST’s existing framework.
Review barriers to AI adoption
If enacted, the White House science office would, within one year, review rules that may block AI use. The review would cover healthcare, scientific research, transportation, and other sectors the Director chooses. It would be done with input from Energy, Health and Human Services, Transportation, and other agencies. The findings would guide future policy but would not by themselves change your taxes or benefits.
