S 1699 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Artificial Intelligence Public Awareness and Education Campaign Act

This bill establishes a federal campaign to improve public understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life. It requires the Secretary of Commerce to create educational materials explaining AI's prevalence (e.g., in apps, recommendations, and services), how to detect AI-generated content like deepfakes, and how to protect personal data - with targeted outreach for vulnerable groups like seniors. The campaign must measure success through audience reach, engagement, and adoption of best practices, and will be updated annually to reflect new AI developments. The program runs for five years with no new funding, ending automatically after enactment.
