- Pennsylvania’s House passed a bill co-authored by Reps. Jason Ortitay (R) and Joe Ciresi (D) to create a public education campaign about AI benefits and risks.
- The legislation emphasizes the need for public awareness about AI’s potential for both beneficial uses and misuses, including issues like misinformation.
- The bill, known as the Artificial Intelligence Public Education Campaign Act, aims to increase AI consumer literacy and safe interaction with AI.
- Once the bill is enacted, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) would conduct the campaign within a year and submit a report to the General Assembly assessing its impact and recommendations for future action.
- This bill follows a recommendation from the Joint State Government Commission’s recent report on AI, aligning state legislation with broader expert assessments.
- The bill now awaits consideration by the Senate for further approval.
