S 5051: AI AGENT Act of 2026

The AI AGENT Act of 2026 establishes a legal framework allowing users to authorize third-party software agents, known as custodial user agents, to manage their online accounts and data on large platforms with over 50 million customers. To enable this, the bill requires these platforms to provide transparent, non-discriminatory access interfaces and mandates that the agents operate under strict duties to protect user privacy, prevent harm, and avoid using data for advertising or selling. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with registering these agents, setting technical standards for secure data exchange, and enforcing compliance through a system that includes public reporting and penalties for unfair practices.

HR 9922: AI Transparency in Elections Act of 2026

The AI Transparency in Elections Act of 2026 requires political advertisements containing content substantially generated by artificial intelligence to include clear and conspicuous disclaimers. These labels must appear on images, audio, and video ads that advocate for or against candidates, solicit contributions, or refer to candidates within 120 days of an election. The bill mandates that visual disclaimers be as large as the main text, while audio disclaimers must be spoken for at least four seconds at the beginning or end of the recording. Violations of these disclosure rules could result in civil money penalties of up to $50,000 per ad, and the Federal Election Commission is tasked with creating specific regulations to enforce the law.

S 5047: Artificial Intelligence Physical Systems Coordination Act of 2026

The Artificial Intelligence Physical Systems Coordination Act of 2026 directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create a working group of 12 to 20 experts from industry, academia, and civil society. This group will study how advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and sensors might affect the safety and security of physical systems, while developing voluntary best practices and research guidelines. The bill explicitly ensures that the group's work remains non-regulatory, protects private trade secrets, and imposes no new legal obligations on private companies. Within 540 days of enactment, the institute must publish a public report summarizing its findings and recommendations, with updates required every two years.
