S 2912: Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the intentional dissemination of false information about voting procedures, election timing, or voter eligibility that is designed to prevent people from voting. It specifically makes it illegal to spread misleading information through any communication method, including via generative artificial intelligence, within 60 days of an election. The bill creates criminal penalties for such deceptive acts (up to one year in prison) and allows civil lawsuits for victims. The Attorney General would have authority to issue corrective information when false statements are spreading, and would be required to report on deceptive practices to Congress after each election.

S 1213: Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act

S 1213, the Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act, prohibits distributing AI-generated audio or video that appears authentic but misrepresents a candidate’s speech or actions during federal elections. It directly affects political campaigns, committees, and anyone distributing such content to influence elections or solicit funds. The bill defines "deceptive AI media" as content that creates a fundamentally different impression than reality, with key exceptions for news outlets (if clearly disclosing AI use) and satirical content. Candidates whose likeness is misused can seek court orders to stop distribution or sue for damages. The law aims to prevent AI-driven election misinformation while preserving journalistic and creative expression.

HR 4873: To codify Executive Order 14319 (relating to preventing woke AI in the Federal Government).

HR 4873 would make Executive Order 14319 - which prohibits the use of "woke AI" in federal government operations - legally binding as a law, rather than relying on presidential directive. This requires all federal agencies using artificial intelligence systems to comply with the order's restrictions as a mandatory legal requirement. The bill directly affects federal departments and agencies that develop or deploy AI tools, ensuring they adhere to the policy without needing repeated executive action. By codifying the order, the bill provides a permanent legal basis for the policy, removing reliance on future executive decisions.

HR 334: To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to establish technical and procedural standards for artificial or prerecorded voice systems created through generative artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.

HR 334 amends the Communications Act of 1934 to explicitly include artificial or prerecorded voice systems created using generative AI (like voice cloning) under existing telemarketing rules. It directly affects companies and organizations that use AI-generated voices for automated calls, requiring them to comply with current regulations. The key mechanism updates Section 227(d)(3) to specify that these AI voice systems must follow the same technical and procedural standards as traditional prerecorded messages. This change ensures AI voice systems are covered by current laws without creating new rules.

SRES 598: A resolution condemning and calling for the reversal of President Trump's decision to allow the export of advanced artificial intelligence chips to the United Arab Emirates, despite significant risks to national security and just months after the United Arab Emirates signed a secret $500,000,000 deal to buy close to a majority stake in the Trump family crypto company World Liberty Financial.

SRES 598 is a Senate resolution condemning President Trump's decision to approve the export of advanced AI chips to the United Arab Emirates. It cites national security concerns, noting the UAE signed a secret $500 million deal to buy nearly half of the Trump family's crypto company (World Liberty Financial) just days before Trump's 2025 inauguration, followed by UAE officials meeting with Trump to push for chip access. The resolution states the export risks chips being diverted to China, which seeks such technology to advance its military and compete globally. It calls for reversing the export decision but does not create new policy or alter existing law.

S 3555: Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security Act of 2025

The Comprehensive Outbound Investment National Security Act of 2025 restricts U.S. investments in certain technologies in countries of concern, primarily China, by prohibiting investments in "covered national security transactions" involving specific technologies. It targets technologies including advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence systems, quantum information technologies, high-performance computing, and hypersonic systems that could enhance military or surveillance capabilities. The bill requires U.S. persons to notify the government about certain transactions involving "notifiable technologies" and establishes civil penalties for violations, including potential divestment requirements. The law would expire seven years after enactment and mandates annual reports to Congress about implementation and enforcement.

S 1754: Preventing PLA Acquisition of United States Technology Act of 2025

S 1754 prohibits U.S. research institutions, federal agencies, and U.S. companies receiving federal funds from collaborating with specific Chinese entities linked to China's military-civil fusion strategy. It restricts partnerships in key technology areas like semiconductors, AI, quantum computing, and biotechnology, as listed on a government website. Covered entities must annually report all Chinese research ties, and violations risk losing future federal funding. The bill targets entities including PLA-connected universities, military-linked companies, and those with Chinese government ownership.

S 2177: No Adversarial AI Act

S 2177, the "No Adversarial AI Act," prohibits U.S. government agencies from acquiring or using artificial intelligence (AI) developed by "foreign adversaries" (defined as entities linked to countries deemed national security threats). Within 90 days of enactment, agencies must review and remove such AI from their systems, using a publicly listed catalog created by the Federal Acquisition Security Council (updated every 180 days). Exceptions allow limited use for scientific research, security testing, counterterrorism, or mission-critical functions, requiring written notice to Congress. The law directly affects federal agencies and foreign AI developers designated as adversaries, focusing on restricting government procurement of high-risk AI tools.

HRES 694: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should halt the pilot program and should not jeopardize seniors' access to critical health care by utilizing artificial intelligence to determine Medicare coverage.

HRES 694 is a non-binding House resolution calling on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to halt a pilot program using artificial intelligence to decide Medicare coverage for medical services. It directly affects seniors who rely on Medicare, as the resolution argues AI-driven coverage decisions could jeopardize their access to critical healthcare. The resolution expresses the House's "sense" that CMS should not proceed with this AI evaluation method, referencing CMS's June 2025 announcement of the pilot. As a resolution, it does not create new law but urges CMS to pause the program.
