The Download: Congress's AI bills, and Snap's new AR spectacles

MIT Technology Review

More than 120 bills related to regulating artificial intelligence are currently floating around the US Congress.

Because of the way Congress works, the majority of these bills will never make it into law. But simply taking a look at them all can give us insight into policymakers' current preoccupations: where they think the dangers are, what each party is focusing on, and more broadly, what vision the US is pursuing when it comes to AI and how it should be regulated. That's why, with help from the Brennan Center for Justice, we've created a tracker with all the AI bills circulating in various committees in Congress right now, to see if there's anything we can learn from this legislative smorgasbord.
