Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-14 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment promised creation of a new U.S. Office of Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Threats. Verified evidence shows the legislation would create that office, but the bill's latest verified action was only referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on October 9, 2026, with no recorded votes. Because the promised outcome was enactment/creation of the office, introduction and committee referral are effort but not delivery, and no deadline has expired as of 2026-10-14.
