US Congress unveils Great American AI Act discussion draft

Representatives Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan have released a discussion draft for the Great American AI Act (GAAIA), a comprehensive 269-page bill aimed at increasing transparency in AI development and deployment. The proposed legislation would preempt state laws on pre-deployment AI regulation for three years, while federal transparency requirements would be imposed on large frontier AI developers. These requirements include publishing safety frameworks, reporting incidents to a new Center for AI Standards and Innovation, and undergoing semi-annual audits. The bill also features strong whistleblower protections across the industry. AI

IMPACT This proposed legislation could significantly shape the future of AI development and deployment by establishing federal transparency and safety standards.
