AI Regulation — Watch the Hill

AI Regulation — Watch the Hill

Generative AI moved from research labs to dinner-table conversation in under three years, and Congress is scrambling to catch up. Multiple bills now address narrow slices — election deepfakes, watermarking, model audits, child safety — while comprehensive frameworks stall over jurisdictional fights.

This page tracks every bill in the 119th Congress where AI is a substantive subject, who’s sponsoring, where it stands, and how the chambers are voting when bills move.

Frequently Asked

Is there a comprehensive U.S. AI law?

Not yet. The 119th Congress has introduced multiple narrow bills (election deepfakes, child-safety, federal procurement) but no comprehensive framework comparable to the EU AI Act has cleared either chamber.

Which committees have jurisdiction?

Primary: House Energy & Commerce, House Science / Space / Technology, Senate Commerce / Science / Transportation, Senate Judiciary. Multi-committee referrals are common, which slows progress.

What’s most likely to pass?

Narrow bills on election-period deepfakes, federal-procurement standards, and child-safety carve-outs have the strongest bipartisan support and the lightest fiscal score.
