The AI CONSENT Act would require companies to get permission from consumers before using their personal data to train artificial intelligence systems. The bill applies to businesses regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and covers any personal information collected when people use products, platforms, or services, including data derived from that information and tracking identifiers. Within one year of enactment, the FTC would develop regulations establishing clear disclosure requirements and consent procedures, ensuring that consumers can easily grant or refuse permission without it affecting their access to services, and can revoke consent at any time with their data subsequently removed from AI training datasets. The bill also directs the FTC to study whether current de-identification techniques adequately protect data from being re-identified as AI technology advances. Violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive practices under existing FTC authority, and states could maintain stricter privacy protections if they choose.
