Bills Introduced – 9-9-24

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate back in Washington, there were 27 bills introduced. Of those, two bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 9494 Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2025 Higgins, Clay [Rep.-R-LA-3]

HR 9497 To amend the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 to establish a center on artificial intelligence to ensure continued United States leadership in research, development, and evaluation of the robustness, resilience, and safety of artificial intelligence systems, and for other purposes. Obernolte, Jay [Rep.-R-CA-23]

I will be covering HR 9494.

I will be watching HR 9497 for language and definitions that would indicate that the provisions about the ‘safety of artificial intelligence systems’ specifically includes cybersecurity measures.
