Congress advances dual AI agenda with bipartisan legislation. Two new bills target different aspects of artificial intelligence development and safety. The CHATBOT Act requires AI companies to establish parental controls, limit manipulative design features, and prohibit targeted advertising to minors, addressing concerns about inappropriate content exposure and addictive engagement tactics. Simultaneously, the American Leadership in AI Act consolidates over twenty bipartisan proposals to strengthen U.S. competitive positioning in artificial intelligence. The legislation focuses on measuring AI capabilities, building research infrastructure, modernizing federal governance, expanding workforce education, and preventing harmful deepfakes.
