Bills Introduced – 10-21-21

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 57 bills introduced. Four of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 5658 To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a report on the cybersecurity roles and responsibilities of the Federal Government, and for other purposes.  Rep. Bacon, Don [R-NE-2]

S 3035 A bill to establish the Artificial Intelligence Hygiene Working Group, and for other purposes. Sen. Peters, Gary [D-MI]

S 3042 A bill making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes.

S 3045 A bill making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes.

I am not sure what to expect with S 3035. If you google ‘artificial intelligence hygiene’ you get references to the use of AI to modify/control hand washing in medical settings, but I do not think that that is the purpose of this bill. I suspect that it is cybersecurity related. If that is the case, I will be watching the bill for language and definitions that would include industrial control systems within its purview.

I will be covering the three remaining bills.
