Within the outlined bills, there are references to the governance of political processes and voting, specifically through bill H.R. 9639 which addresses the prohibition of fraudulent activity in electoral procedures that potentially utilizes AI-generated content. Therefore, this falls directly under 'Politics and Elections'. The other bills listed do not make any references to AI or its implications in their respective sectors. This suggests that only the 'Politics and Elections' sector is impacted significantly while the other sectors lack any relevant mention of AI applications.

Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity (see reasoning)
The text specifically discusses the use of artificial intelligence technology in government contracts, emphasizing transparency and accountability through required disclosures. This aligns directly with issues related to Social Impact, as it addresses the societal implications of AI in government procurement. It also touches upon System Integrity, considering mandates for detailed disclosures about AI systems and their capabilities. Data Governance is relevant as well, given the emphasis on accurate information about the technology's capacity and data usage in procurement contexts. Robustness is less relevant, as the text doesn't discuss performance benchmarks or auditing AI systems directly. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance accountability and oversight concerning AI's application in government services, which is primarily connected to the Social Impact and System Integrity categories.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment (see reasoning)
The legislation is highly relevant to Government Agencies and Public Services, as it directly addresses AI's application in government contracts and services. The required disclosures impact how state agencies manage and oversee technology used in their operations. There is minimal direct relevance to sectors like Politics and Elections, Judicial System, Healthcare, and others as the text is narrowly focused on procurement. The implications for Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment are indirect but exist within the discussions of vendor transparency. Academic and Research Institutions, International Cooperation and Standards, Nonprofits and NGOs, and Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified sectors do not fit clearly into this context. The primary focus remains on the transparency of AI use in the public sector.

Description: As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council Act." - Amends TCA Title 4.
Collection: Legislation
Status date: Jan. 31, 2024
Status: Introduced
Primary sponsor: Kevin Vaughan

Last action: Taken off notice for cal in s/c Business & Utilities Subcommittee of Commerce Committee (March 12, 2024)
Societal Impact (see reasoning)
The text is primarily focused on establishing the Tennessee Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council. It discusses the council's formation, composition, and its responsibilities tied to AI, such as positioning Tennessee for economic benefits from AI, assessing its labor market impacts, and developing regulations for responsible AI use. This implies significant relevance to the Social Impact category since it tackles the implications of AI on labor markets and regulatory measures. The Data Governance category is slightly relevant as it may touch on how data is managed in AI contexts, but it's not a primary focus. The System Integrity and Robustness categories are not explicitly addressed in the text. In summary, Social Impact is critical due to its exploration of AI's effects on society and the economy, while the other categories have less relevance based on the content provided.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment (see reasoning)
The bill explicitly mentions the use of AI within the context of government services and labor markets, suggesting a clear connection to the Government Agencies and Public Services sector due to its focus on enhancing state and local government efficiency through AI. The implications for labor markets also hint at relevance for the Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment sector; however, it does not delve into specific employment practices. As the bill does not reference the judicial system, healthcare, or other sectors directly, those sectors score low. Academic and Research Institutions may be touched upon due to workforce development interests, but the primary focus remains on government and economic applicability. Overall, the strongest alignment is with Government Agencies and Public Services, followed by Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment.
