Article doesn't say much, but links to an official "fact sheet", with few facts.[1] This references what's supposed to be the actual policy, "House Information Technology Policy 8", or "HITPOL 8". Trying to find that. The cao.house.gov site has search, but the only HITPOL document is that fact sheet. "HITPOL 8" has no hits in Google other than that "fact sheet".

"The new House AI Policy is just beginning." says the fact sheet.

Looks like there isn't a policy, just a plan to develop one.

I could be wrong or ill informed, but it seems to me like its way too early to properly regulate AI. Our fears are likely to illicit an irrational response to anthropromorphized machines.

I see the harm of these laws most likely outweighing the good and I smell a government power grab. Willing to be wrong as always but would love to know more.
