S 2346 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Preparing Election Administrators for AI Act
To require the Election Assistance Commission to develop voluntary guidelines for the administration of elections that address the use and risks of artificial intelligence technologies, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Election Assistance Commission to develop and issue voluntary guidelines within 60 days of enactment to help state and local election offices address the use and risks of artificial intelligence technologies. The guidelines must address the risks and benefits of using AI in election administration, cybersecurity threats posed by AI, how AI-generated information affects the sharing of accurate election information, and how AI-generated information spreads election disinformation. The bill also requires the Election Assistance Commission to conduct a study by July 31, 2026, on how AI technologies were used and impacted the 2024 federal elections, including how AI-generated information was shared. Based on the study's findings, the Commission must review and update the voluntary guidelines as appropriate.
