This bill would protect Americans from AI chatbot harms by requiring monthly safety assessments for risks like suicide, banning the use of children's data for training and harmful features for minors, and empowering FTC and state AGs to enforce the law. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
🚨 @repcasar.bsky.social and I introduced the People-First Chatbot Act alongside 30+ groups including @epic.org, @consumerfed.bsky.social, @fairplayforkids.bsky.social and @alondra.bsky.social. AI chatbots are putting the lives and data of Americans at risk. We must take action.
Bravo Reps. Valerie Foushee and Greg Casar, and major congrats to @kara-williams.bsky.social, @benwinters.bsky.social, and @fairplayforkids.bsky.social for their work on the model People-First Chatbot Bill! epic.org/people-first...
Last night, federal lawmakers introduced the People-First Chatbot Act, a framework based on EPIC's model bill, which was crafted to make chatbots safer for everyone and address the harms caused by AI chatbots that were rushed into the public’s hands with little oversight or transparency.
The People-First Chatbot Act is built on a careful foundation- the AI Bill of Rights-and brings real enforcement to protections that matter: safety, non-discrimination, privacy, transparency, and the right to a human alternative. I'm pleased to support it. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...
“The People First #Chatbot Act rightfully focuses on privacy, safety, and accountability. It critically has straightforward enforcement mechanisms that allow people to act when they are harmed by careless #AI companies putting profit over people.” @benwinters.bsky.social
It was great to visit Lenovo’s RTP campus to learn about their efforts to develop cutting-edge technology right here in the 4th District. As technological innovation continues at a rapid rate, I’m glad to see local research labs, universities, and companies working to push our country forward.
I sent a letter to the National Park Service regarding the lack of upkeep at the Women’s Equality National Monument in Washington, D.C. For example, there is currently a handwritten note functioning as a plaque above a desk belonging to Elizabeth Stanton, a leader of the women's rights movement.
This is one of many instances that underscore why I continue to support @ramirez.house.gov's Block the Bombs Act. We cannot continue to allow our nation's involvement in conflicts abroad that put innocent civilians at risk.
I am disturbed by the detention of prominent Palestinian doctor, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, and reports that he has been beaten while being held in Israel without charges. He must be released to receive care and be allowed to return to Gaza to continue his lifesaving work. www.bbc.com/news/article...
It was great seeing so many people out in the community throughout this 4th of July weekend! As we look ahead to America’s next 250 years, let us keep working together to build a more perfect Union that lives up to its promise for everyone.
As America turns 250 years old, we celebrate our past by protecting our future. The next 250 years depend on defending our democracy, safeguarding our freedoms, and building an America where opportunity and justice belong to everyone.
One year ago this week, Republicans passed their Big, Ugly Bill which cut SNAP and healthcare funding to give a blank check to ICE. The facts are clear: 5 million less Americans have health insurance than last year, ICE is terrorizing our communities, and the cost of living continues to skyrocket.
Orange County Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford was a devoted public servant who worked tirelessly to strengthen public education and expand opportunities for working families in our community. She will be dearly missed, and I offer my condolences to her loved ones.
Republican representatives are saying they work harder than 60% of Americans after THEY cancelled votes for the week. If you're at work right now — on a Wednesday — you're working more than Republicans in Congress. That's how little this majority cares about delivering results.
Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.
It was great meeting with Duke University students participating in the Rachel Carson Scholars program. This program is helping to cultivate the next generation of marine conservation leaders, and I can’t wait to see how far these students go!
I was proud to be a cosponsor and voted in favor of a similar War Powers Resolution which was voted on in the House a few weeks ago. This is an important moment and now we're gaining even more support—we must stop Trump's warmongering and put money back into our communities.
I voted in favor of a War Powers Resolution to prevent our nation's involvement in hostilities in Lebanon. Our communities are struggling with higher costs, and continuing to allow for the use of taxpayer dollars to support Israel's war is out-of-touch.
