Department of Advanced Technology and Artificial Intelligence Act

This bill would create a new federal Department of Advanced Technology and Artificial Intelligence, led by a Secretary appointed by the President with Senate approval. The Department would develop a federal framework to update laws on technology and AI, and a strategy so federal agencies set consistent standards and policies for their use of AI. The Secretary would fund research, set safety and oversight standards, create AI incident reporting systems for cybersecurity risks, and offer strategies on AI literacy in schools, workforce programs, and worker protections when jobs are displaced. Within 180 days, the Government Accountability Office would report to Congress on existing federal AI rules and programs, any duplication, and recommendations for the new Department's structure, funding, and needed legislation.
