The Hickenlooper AI Auditing Bill and the Expanding Role of the Commerce Department in AI Policy

Artificial intelligence (AI) legislative proposals are on the rise in the United States, with over 760 bills pending, including 114 federal bills. The article discusses the recent passing of an AI regulatory bill in Colorado and the growing importance of AI governance. It highlights the role of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) within the U.S. Department of Commerce in overseeing algorithmic systems.

Various federal AI bills propose a hybrid governance style combining 'hard law' and 'soft law' mechanisms. The Validation and Evaluation for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Act (VET AI Act) introduced by Sen. John Hickenlooper aims to establish 'AI auditing' guidelines under the DOC. The article also touches on the potential impact of these bills on the future of AI policy in Congress and the role of NIST in AI oversight.
