Assuring Safe, Secure, Ethical, and Stable Systems for AI Act or the ASSESS AI Act

This bill directs the President to appoint a task force to assess the privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties implications of artificial intelligence (AI).

The task force shall

  • assess existing policy, regulatory, and legal gaps for AI applications and associated data; and
  • make recommendations to Congress and the President for legislative and regulatory reforms to ensure that uses of AI and associated data in federal government operations comport with freedom of expression, equal protection, privacy, civil liberties, civil rights, and due process.

The task force may (1) engage with representatives from a private sector organization, subject to specified requirements; and (2) recommend to Congress the creation of a similar task force focused on another emerging technology.

The task force shall terminate 18 months after its establishment.
