Key Points

The Commerce Department would start a nationwide campaign to help people understand how artificial intelligence (AI) works and how it is used in daily life. This includes explaining things like chatbots, deepfakes, and how AI makes recommendations on social media or shopping sites.
A major goal is to protect people from AI-related crimes. The program would specifically teach seniors and other at-risk groups how to spot and avoid scams or fraud that use AI technology.
The campaign would provide tools to help people tell the difference between content made by humans and content made by computers. It would also offer tips on how to keep personal data safe when using new AI tools.
To reach as many people as possible, the information would be shared through a new website, TV and radio ads, and social media. All materials would be available in multiple languages and designed to work well on mobile phones.
The bill also focuses on jobs and small businesses. It would highlight career opportunities in the AI field and work with the Small Business Administration to help local business owners understand how to use AI safely and effectively.
