Washington, D.C. – Since the emergence of ChatGPT in the Fall of 2022, global attention has centered on both the opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI). The Biden administration’s 2023 executive order on AI marked a significant step by the federal government to address AI-related issues. However, with AI legislation unlikely to pass in Congress this year, it is increasingly crucial to consider how existing laws and authorities can be utilized to manage AI.
Many lawmakers, regulators, and elected officials have asserted that current laws are applicable to AI and must be enforced immediately. This raises questions about which specific laws apply and how they should be implemented for new AI applications.
Governing for Impact (GFI) and the Center for American Progress (CAP) are hosting an event to discuss how agencies can use existing statutory authorities to take further action on AI. A new report from GFI and CAP will be released in conjunction with the event, exploring existing statutory authorities at various domestic agencies including the departments of Labor, Housing and Urban Development, and Education.
