The House of Representatives finds the following: The rise of artificial intelligence has great potential to improve quality of life for individuals in the United States, provided it is developed and used in a manner that is ethical, reduces bias, promotes fairness, and protects privacy. A diverse artificial intelligence workforce is important for mitigating bias. The United States is uniquely positioned to leverage its diverse workforce to lead in artificial intelligence. The starting point for Federal oversight of artificial intelligence should be to review existing regulatory frameworks.
Regulatory sandboxes, in general, refer to regulatory structures where a participant obtains limited or temporary access to a market in exchange for reduced regulatory uncertainty, and can be used to test a product designed to mitigate unintended bias or promote fairness in a small-scale environment and under the supervision of regulators. Federal programs should have necessary safeguards and oversight processes. Artificial intelligence regulatory approaches should consider the level of risk associated with different artificial intelligence applications.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that departments and agencies of the Federal Government should— support technical and non-technical research and development to address potential bias, fairness, and privacy issues in artificial intelligence; improve access to a broad range of non-sensitive government data assets to help train artificial intelligence systems; implement title II of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 ( Public Law 115–435 ; 132 Stat. 5529); develop policies to identify the data used to train artificial intelligence algorithms as well as data analyzed by artificial intelligence algorithms and systems in use by departments and agencies; and further develop and release to the public available benchmark data assets with the proper safeguards to protect privacy, mitigate bias, and promote inclusivity.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that congressional committees should— review the range of existing Federal regulations and laws that potentially apply to artificial intelligence; determine which laws apply to artificial intelligence; determine if any gaps in appropriate legislation and regulation exist and how such gaps could be addressed; advance Federal privacy reforms that build trust, prevent harm, and maintain United States global leadership in artificial intelligence; and conduct regular oversight of artificial intelligence policies in the executive branch within their jurisdiction.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should support funding for departments and agencies of the Federal Government interested in adopting programs, including regulatory sandboxes, for the purposes of testing artificial intelligence tools in limited markets.
