Key Points
- The Department of Commerce would launch a nationwide campaign to teach Americans about how artificial intelligence (AI) works and how it affects their daily lives. This includes explaining how AI is used in things like product recommendations, healthcare, and financial trading.
- A major goal of the program is to help people spot "deepfakes" and AI-generated content. The government would provide tools and guides to help the public tell the difference between human-made media and content created by computers or chatbots.
- The policy specifically targets AI-driven scams and fraud. It requires the government to reach out to groups that are often targeted by scammers, such as senior citizens, to help them recognize and avoid AI-enabled fraud.
- The campaign would provide resources for small business owners and workers. It would highlight job opportunities in the AI field and offer advice on how small businesses can use AI safely and effectively.
- Information would be shared through a new mobile-friendly website, television and radio ads, and social media. All materials must be available in multiple languages to ensure they reach as many people as possible.
- The program is designed to last for five years and does not ask for new taxpayer money; instead, the Department of Commerce would use its existing budget to carry out these tasks.
