Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) there is a lack of— (A) visibility into how artificial intelligence systems work; (B) transparency regarding the information used to train such systems; and (C) consensus-based standards and practices to guide the development and deployment of such systems; (2) it is becoming increasingly difficult to assess the nature, origins, and authenticity of digital content that has been generated or modified algorithmically; (3) these deficiencies negatively impact the public and, particularly, the journalists, publishers, broadcasters, and artists whose content is used to train these systems and is manipulated to produce synthetic content and synthetically-modified content that competes unfairly in the digital marketplace with covered content; and (4) the development and adoption of consensus-based standards would mitigate these impacts, catalyze innovation in this nascent industry, and put the United States in a position to lead the development of artificial intelligence systems moving forward.
