This bill directs the Secretary of Commerce, working with agencies like the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, to launch a nationwide public awareness campaign about artificial intelligence within 180 days of the law's enactment. The campaign would educate Americans on the benefits and risks of AI, help people understand their legal rights related to AI, and teach the public how to identify AI-generated content such as deepfakes and chatbot-produced material. It places special emphasis on protecting vulnerable groups, particularly senior citizens, from AI-related scams and fraud, while also promoting awareness of AI's role in everyday tools like predictive text and route planning, as well as career opportunities in the AI field, including federal jobs. The Secretary must consult with academic experts, industry stakeholders, and community organizations while running the campaign, and must report to Congress one year after the campaign begins, detailing its effectiveness and offering recommendations for improvement. Notably, the bill does not authorize any new federal funding to carry out these activities.
