This bill would create a new executive department called the Department of Advanced Technology and Artificial Intelligence, led by a Secretary appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The department would develop a federal framework and coordinated strategy for how government agencies use artificial intelligence, including setting safety standards, establishing incident reporting systems for cybersecurity risks, and creating regulatory guidelines. The bill also directs the department to promote artificial intelligence education in schools and develop workforce programs while addressing potential job displacement from AI technology. Within 180 days of enactment, the Government Accountability Office would report to Congress on existing AI regulations across agencies, any duplication, and recommendations for the new department's structure, funding, and needed legislative updates to protect consumers, workers, and privacy. The bill does not specify initial funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond the 180-day reporting requirement.
