Passed One Chamber

Passed Both Chambers

Signed into Law

Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

Requires the Small Business Administration to report on its use of artificial intelligence.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) would have to tell Congress how it uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This includes the good and bad parts, and how the agency plans to manage these technologies. This aims to give Congress more information about how a key agency uses new technology.

What Would Change

Currently, the Small Business Administration does not have to report to Congress on its use of artificial intelligence or machine learning. If this bill becomes law, the SBA would be required to submit annual reports and provide briefings to Congress on its AI use, including its benefits, risks, and management plans.

Key Provisions

Requires the Small Business Administration to send annual reports to Congress about its use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Requires these reports to explain the good things and the bad things about the SBA's use of artificial intelligence.
Requires the reports to describe how the SBA plans to manage the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence, including keeping people involved in key decisions.
Requires the Small Business Administration to give a briefing to Congress within 30 days after each report is submitted.
