Human Dignity and Emerging Technologies Act

This bill would create the United States Commission on Human Dignity, an independent advisory commission in the legislative branch. The commission would advise the federal government on ethical and policy questions raised by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, and neurotechnology. It would have 17 members appointed by the President and congressional leaders and committees, hold public hearings, monitor federal programs, and issue yearly reports. The commission could not issue regulations or enforce laws, would receive up to $2 million per year from 2027 through 2031, and would end on October 1, 2032.
