An expansive bipartisan House draft bill issued Thursday would set up a federal framework for artificial intelligence governance, laying groundwork for the codification of a key federal\u00a0AI standards center and calling for accountability in government AI adoption.<\/p>\n

The discussion draft, led by Reps. Lori Trahan, D-Mass., and Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., came two days after the White House issued an artificial intelligence-focused executive order asking for early access to AI models for oversight. The draft is \u201cintended to solicit feedback from stakeholders, experts, and the public before the bill is formally introduced,\u201d the lawmakers said in a release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe threats AI poses to our national security, our safety, and our workforce are here and growing by the day,\u201d Trahan said in a statement. \u201cThis bipartisan framework is designed to meet the challenges posed by this rapidly advancing technology without smothering American innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The draft bill would formally codify the Center for AI Standards and Innovation in the Commerce Department, with $100 million per year authorized for fiscal 2027-2029. The center would develop voluntary guidelines, best practices and standards for AI security, as well as evaluate AI systems and monitor AI progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick last June rebranded the U.S. AI Safety Institute, launched during the Biden administration, as the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. Despite being established by the executive branch in late 2024, the organization lacks a formal authorization from Congress.<\/p>\n

Deemed the \u201cGreat American AI Act,\u201d the bill would also require the Government Accountability Office to evaluate federal AI adoption progress, identify federal statutes and regulations that \u201cdirectly affect AI innovation or unduly burden AI infrastructure (including energy)\u201d and provide legislative and administrative recommendations, according to a bill summary.<\/p>\n
