The majority of Americans favor greater artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, but the volume of bills that target AI is overwhelming: more than 1,000 bills related to AI have been introduced in the U.S. in the last three years. MacArthur grantee Center for Technological Responsibility, Reimagination, and Redesign (CNTR) at Brown University has created a new portal for the public to make sense of the complicated landscape of AI-related legislation across the U.S. The portal includes a Bill Library and Bill Profiles that help the public, journalists, researchers, and policy makers identify trends and assess proposals.
At launch, the library contains 5,000 of the bills with profiles on 100. It notes that among the policies that have been proposed, some are substantial and targeted while others seem to be AI in name only. CNTR created the portal, not to grade bills, but instead crafted a framework to evaluate how they address elements of policy, including transparency, data protection, bias, education, content, and labor.
