Preventing AI Censorship Act

This bill would let U.S. citizens sue individual federal executive branch employees who, acting under federal authority, violate their First Amendment rights through certain actions involving artificial intelligence (AI). Covered actions include pressuring or encouraging AI companies to restrict AI content or access based on viewpoint, political affiliation, religion, ideology, or perceived truth or bias, or to change AI training or settings for that purpose. It also covers pushing AI companies to share users' prompts with federal agencies to monitor or penalize lawful speech, and directly interfering with a person's lawful use of AI. Courts could award attorney's fees to the winning side, other than the United States, and the bill does not limit law enforcement actions taken under a valid warrant or court order.
