Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
The Aging with Artificial Intelligence Act of 2026 directs the federal government to study how artificial intelligence systems, including AI chatbots and voice assistants, affect people age 65 and older. The legislation requires the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine both the benefits and risks of AI use among older adults, including potential advantages like improved access to information and companionship as well as dangers like financial scams, fraud, and misleading health information. The study will also evaluate the safety features, privacy protections, and accessibility of these AI systems for seniors with varying levels of digital literacy and disability. The bill allocates up to $2 million for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to conduct the research and requires a comprehensive report to Congress within one year of enactment. Additionally, the legislation establishes ongoing research efforts at the National Institute on Aging to continue studying AI use among older adults and to disseminate best practices to the public and healthcare providers.
