Collection: Congressional Record
Status date: May 15, 2024
Status: Issued
Source: Congress
Societal Impact (see reasoning)
The text addresses various fraudulent scams targeted at seniors and mentions the role of new technologies like artificial intelligence in these scams. However, it primarily focuses on awareness and prevention rather than deep evaluations of social impacts, data governance, system integrity, or robustness regarding AI systems. The mention of AI demonstrates some concern about its application in scams, but it does not delve deeply into its social ramifications, data issues, or the integrity of AI systems. Thus, the relevance to Social Impact is moderate as it relates to psychological harm and distrust. Data Governance seems slightly relevant because of implications regarding data handling and privacy, but isn't central. System Integrity and Robustness aren't inherently discussed in the context of AI, making them less relevant.
Sector: None (see reasoning)
The resolution specifically advocates for raising awareness about fraud targeting seniors and proposes efforts to combat such scams, thereby touching on fraud prevention and education. However, it does not specifically target any governance of AI by government agencies, the legal sector, healthcare applications, or other defined sectors explicitly. The mention of AI in the context of scams somewhat aligns with the Government Agencies and Public Services sector, but it is not a central theme. Thus, most sector relevance scores are low.

Societal Impact
Data Governance (see reasoning)
The text involves legislation that explicitly addresses the use of computer-generated images, which includes those created by artificial intelligence and related tools. This connection to images produced by AI makes the legislation particularly relevant to the Social Impact category, as it relates to issues like nonconsensual pornography and personal rights regarding intimate images—important social concerns surrounding AI's role in media generation. The relevance to Data Governance is based on the regulation around the creation and distribution of these AI-generated images, but it is less direct compared to Social Impact. System Integrity and Robustness categories are not applicable, as they primarily relate to the security and performance of AI systems, rather than issues of legal and personal rights regarding media outputs that the text addresses.
Sector:
Judicial system (see reasoning)
The legislation is largely associated with issues of sexual abuse and personal rights, rather than being strictly tied to any specific sector such as politics/elections or healthcare. There are areas that address AI's implications in maintaining individual privacy rights and protecting individuals from the misuse of AI in the creation of intimate images, which could tangentially relate to sectors like Private Enterprises if discussing the broader implications for businesses generating or managing such content. However, the primary focus remains on individual rights issues rather than these sectors. Given that the legislation does not primarily address systemic issues within specific sectors, all scores reflect a lower relevance.

Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity (see reasoning)
The text explicitly pertains to the regulation of political communications generated by AI algorithms, predominantly focusing on transparency in political discourse. This ties closely with the Social Impact category as it addresses the implications of AI-generated content on political communication, misinformation, and public trust. The act seems to attempt to mitigate the potential negative social consequences of AI use in election campaigns by enforcing disclaimers, thereby promoting accountability. The Data Governance category is also relevant due to the implications for data used in creating synthetic media and ensuring transparency in its generation, although less so than Social Impact. System Integrity is relevant in that it discusses the transparency and accuracy of disclosures in AI-generated communications, but does not explicitly tackle broader issues of security or oversight. The Robustness category is the least relevant, as it does not deal directly with benchmarks or performance standards for AI systems. Overall, the greatest emphasis appears to be on mitigating the social impacts of AI, especially in relation to misinformation and trust in the electoral process.
Sector:
Politics and Elections (see reasoning)
The Act fundamentally addresses the use of AI in the political sphere, emphasizing the necessity for disclaimers in political communications that are AI-generated. This places it squarely in the Politics and Elections sector, as it seeks to regulate the use of AI in political contexts and enhance transparency in communication within that domain. There is a minor indirect reference to the broader implications on Public Services if these regulations affect how elections are managed and communicated, but the primary focus remains on political communications. The act does not explicitly address or touch upon other areas such as Healthcare, Judicial Systems, or other sectors, which diminishes relevance in those areas. Therefore, while other sectors might have minor relevance, the main impact is solidly within Politics and Elections.

The need for educational standards and potentially ensuring fairness in AI curricula further elevates its relevance to the Social Impact category. On the other hand, while the text mentions aspects like data privacy and ethical implications of AI use, it does not go deeply into the policy frameworks or specific mandates that would fit strongly into the Data Governance or System Integrity categories. Overall, the focus is mostly about the social implications arising from the integration of AI into education, leading to an understanding that the Social Impact category is very relevant. Data Governance and System Integrity, while present in context, do not receive as strong a connection, especially since they are not the primary focus of the legislation. Robustness is not applicable as the legislation is not about performance benchmarks or regulatory compliance measures for AI systems.
Sector:
Academic and Research Institutions (see reasoning)
The focus on establishing an AI in Education Task Force, evaluating the uses of AI technologies in K-12 and higher education, and making policy recommendations indicates relevance specifically to the education sector. The task force aims to address the needs of the educational landscape in relation to AI, making a clear connection to policies surrounding education and technology. While it indirectly touches on government agencies due to its administrative aspects, the primary focus remains in the education realm, particularly the effects of AI applications in educational settings. The text does not address the sectors of Politics and Elections, Judicial System, Healthcare, Private Enterprises, Labor and Employment, Academic and Research Institutions, International Cooperation and Standards, Nonprofits and NGOs, or Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified, which limits applicability to the education sector directly.

Societal Impact
System Integrity (see reasoning)
The text explicitly discusses the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence literacy as part of the curriculum for grades K-8 in California. This highlights the direct impact of AI on education and students, particularly focusing on knowledge and skills related to AI's principles and applications, which are essential for understanding technology in a modern context. It also touches upon ethical considerations, which could link to societal impacts such as responsible use and trust in technology. This makes the relevance to 'Social Impact' very strong. However, while the inclusion of AI literacy does pertain to issues of teaching responsible technology use and ethical considerations, it does not focus explicitly on discrimination, psychological harm, or misinformation which would strengthen its connection to that category. Therefore, I will score it highly for Social Impact. 'Data Governance' relates less directly as the text emphasizes curriculum content rather than the management or regulatory aspects of data in AI. 'System Integrity' is somewhat relevant as it involves the integrity of educational materials that inform on AI literacy, but not to the extent of needing oversight or standards. 'Robustness' does not apply here as there is no mention of benchmarks or performance measures for AI itself.
Sector:
Academic and Research Institutions (see reasoning)
The text focuses on AI literacy as part of the education curriculum, which indicates a direct relevance to the 'Academic and Research Institutions' sector because it involves teaching foundational knowledge about AI and its applications to school-age children. The bill does not mention AI use in political campaigns, government service delivery, healthcare, or other specific sectors like judicial systems or nonprofits, making those categories less relevant. The focus on education does not quite fit into 'Politics and Elections' or 'Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified', which are broader and less specific. 'Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment' is also not applicable here as the text doesn't address workplace implications directly.

Description: Requires BPU to provide funding for purchase and installation of photovoltaic technologies for age-restricted community clubhouse facilities from societal benefits charge.
Summary: The bill mandates the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to fund the purchase and installation of photovoltaic systems for age-restricted community clubhouses, using funds from the societal benefits charge.
Collection: Legislation
Status date: Jan. 9, 2024
Status: Introduced
Last action: Introduced in the Senate, Referred to Senate Environment and Energy Committee (Jan. 9, 2024)
The text primarily focuses on the allocation of funding for photovoltaic technologies, which relates mainly to energy efficiency and renewable energy but does not notably address artificial intelligence (AI) or its relevant implications. Therefore, the AI-related categories will likely score low. The references to AI directly are absent, leading to minimal connections with the categories, and as such, they will not be relevant for inclusion.
Sector: None (see reasoning)
The bill is concerned with funding for renewable energy technologies specifically targeting age-restricted communities. It does not make any references to sectors such as healthcare, governance, or judicial implications related to AI. Consequently, relevance to the sectors specified is negligible. The legislation does not discuss AI in relation to politics, government services, the judicial system, healthcare, employment, academic settings, or international standards, and thus, very low scores are appropriate.
