Last action: Committee recommended measure be held for further study (March 20, 2025)
Societal Impact (see reasoning)
The text explicitly addresses the use of synthetic media, specifically regarding deceptive and fraudulent applications within election communications. It establishes regulations to mitigate the risks associated with the misuse of AI to create misleading content in campaigns. This directly implicates the social impact of AI as it aims to protect the integrity of elections and public trust. It does not cover data governance, system integrity, or robustness in a way that demonstrates a clear focus, as the main concern is the regulation of synthetic media rather than the underlying data management or systemic frameworks.
Sector:
Politics and Elections (see reasoning)
The legislation focuses on elections and the integrity of the electoral process by regulating the use of synthetic media. As it pertains directly to deceptive practices in election communications and emphasizes the ramifications for candidates and campaign entities, it falls squarely within the realm of Politics and Elections. While there are mentions of broader themes that could touch on government operations and public trust, those do not form a substantial part of the legislation and thus do not warrant higher relevance. Other sectors such as healthcare, the judicial system, and private enterprises do not connect closely with the content of this act.

Societal Impact
Data Governance (see reasoning)
The text addresses the unauthorized use of individuals' names, voices, and likenesses, and penalizes such activities, especially in digital environments where algorithms and artificial intelligence technologies may be employed. This includes the use of 'digital voice replicas' and conditions under which these technologies can operate. Because the legislation directly pertains to the social implications of AI technology, especially regarding identity and likeness exploitation, it falls under the category of Social Impact. The text is moderately relevant to Data Governance concerning the management of individual rights and consent related to their likeness and voice. However, it is less directly tied to System Integrity and Robustness, as it does not discuss security or performance benchmarks of the AI systems themselves.
Sector:
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment (see reasoning)
The text discusses provisions related to the use of an individual's likeness and voice, particularly in digital formats, which is relevant to several sectors. In the context of Politics and Elections, this legislation implicitly addresses potential concerns regarding digital representations during campaigns. However, it does not explicitly regulate AI's utilization in political or campaign processes, making it only slightly relevant. For Government Agencies and Public Services, it may touch upon how public entities must handle such representations but lacks explicit mention. The Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment sector is moderately relevant, as businesses can be held accountable for unauthorized use of individuals' digital representations. Overall, the most pertinent sectors are Private Enterprises and Academic Institutions, but the relevance weakens significantly.

Last action: Referred to Rules Committee (Jan. 29, 2025)
Societal Impact
Data Governance (see reasoning)
The SAFE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE ACT is fundamentally focused on the regulation and management of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) and their implementation by motor vehicle manufacturers. It explicitly defines 'Automated Driving System' and outlines protocols for the safe operation of vehicles equipped with such systems. The legislation primarily deals with potential impacts on society (such as safety, liability, and data privacy) as automation becomes prevalent in transportation, which makes it relevant to the Social Impact category. It sets conditions for the operation, data collection, and accountability of ADS, indicating governance concerns which relate to Data Governance. However, it is less focused on security measures, compliance standards, and overall system integrity, making it less relevant to the System Integrity and Robustness categories despite the importance of performance monitoring. Thus, the Social Impact category is rated highest due to these considerations.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment (see reasoning)
The legislation aligns closely with the Government Agencies and Public Services sector, as it involves state regulations on the use of AI in transportation, along with the role of government agencies in approving and overseeing the Safe Autonomous Vehicle Program. It also impacts Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment, mainly due to potential shifts in employment within the driver-based jobs sector due to the introduction of ADS. However, it does not specifically address Judicial System implications directly or mention impacts specifically on Healthcare or Academic and Research Institutions. Consequently, the Government Agencies and Public Services sector is rated highest, with a significant but lesser consideration for the Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment sector.

(12 total sponsors)
Last action: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. (April 7, 2025)
The text primarily addresses fair compensation, benefits, and working conditions for paraprofessionals and education support staff without focusing on AI. The mention of 'electronic monitoring, data, algorithms, and artificial intelligence technology' indicates a consideration for these technologies, particularly regarding professional development and input in the implementation process. However, the overall emphasis of the text is not about AI per se, but rather on labor rights and educational support staff's working conditions, which does not directly correlate with the categories laid out for AI-related legislation. Therefore, the relevance to each of the four categories is low.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment
Academic and Research Institutions (see reasoning)
The text mainly pertains to the rights of paraprofessionals and education support staff within the education sector. Although it includes references to the implementation of technology, its focus is primarily on their labor conditions rather than direct impacts on the broader sectors described. While the mention of educational staff encompasses impacts on teaching and learning processes, it does not specifically engage with how AI is utilized across broader sectors like political campaigns, public services, or healthcare. It is thus marginally relevant to the sectors listed.

Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity (see reasoning)
The text primarily discusses the establishment of a task force focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications on various sectors and legislative oversight. The relevance of the categories is evaluated as follows: For Social Impact, the text explicitly mentions ethical considerations and the potential societal impacts of AI,making it extremely relevant. Data Governance is also very relevant as it addresses concerns about data privacy and security related to AI. System Integrity is moderately relevant given the focus on oversight and regulatory aspects but lacks direct mentions of security measures. Robustness is less relevant since the document doesn't significantly address performance benchmarks or auditing processes for AI systems, though some points about the responsible use of AI are implied.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services (see reasoning)
The legislation outlines the establishment of a task force concerning AI in various sectors, making it relevant across multiple sectors. For Politics and Elections, it is slightly relevant as it pertains to legislative activities regarding AI. Government Agencies and Public Services is highly relevant due to the focus on AI's applications in state government operations and public services. The healthcare sector is slightly relevant as healthcare is mentioned as a sector where AI could be integrated, but it doesn't delve deeply into healthcare-specific challenges or regulations. Other sectors like Judicial System, Private Enterprises, Labor, Academic and Research Institutions, International Cooperation and Standards, and Nonprofits and NGOs are not explicitly addressed in this text, leading to low relevance scores. Overall, the highest relevancy is noted in Government Agencies and Public Services.
