Law

Congress is considering a bill that would require the Department of Commerce to study how artificial intelligence can be used to make our phone and internet networks safer and more reliable.
The study will look at how AI can help find computer viruses in real-time, make networks more energy-efficient, and help different types of communication systems work better together.
Experts will also investigate the potential risks that AI might pose to our communication systems to prevent hackers or foreign actors from using the technology to cause harm.
The government must talk to the Federal Communications Commission and private tech companies to get their input, and the public will have a chance to comment on the findings before they are finalized.
A final report with suggestions for new laws must be sent to Congress within one year of the bill being signed into law.
