This bill has support from both Democrats and Republicans, which helps its chances. However, many bills that only ask for a study are not seen as high priorities for a final vote.
Key Points
This bill asks experts to study how artificial intelligence affects people aged 65 and older. It looks at how seniors use AI for things like talking to others, getting health information, and staying independent at home.
Researchers will look for ways AI can help seniors feel less lonely or help them with daily tasks. They will also study how these tools can support family members and professional caregivers who look after older adults.
The study will specifically look at dangers like online scams, financial fraud, and wrong health advice. It also aims to see if AI tools might cause mental health struggles or lead to people relying on technology too much.
The government will check if AI tools are easy for people with disabilities to use and if they keep personal data private. They want to make sure there are safeguards in place to stop fraud and handle emergencies.
If passed, the government would spend up to $2 million over two years for this research. A final report with recommendations would be shared with Congress within one year to help guide future laws and programs.
