I will continue to advocate for further safeguards that protect our communities from the harms and risks associated with AI.

sent a letter to the CEOs of several sports-betting and prediction market companies urging them to take immediate action to address the growing normalization of online gambling and the harms these platforms pose for young Americans
I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation alongside Congressman Beyer and Congressman Moylan to help defend the American people from the harms of deceptive AI.
H.R. 8893 Sponsored — To require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish task forces to facilitate and inform the development of technical standards and guidelines relating to the identification of content created by generative artificial intelligence, and for other purposes.
introduced the bipartisan Protecting Consumers From Deceptive AI Act to establish technical standards and guidelines for generative AI content and ensure that the use of this technology is disclosed when it is used to create or modify audio and visual content
I look forward to working with my colleagues to bring these bills to the House floor and pass responsible AI legislation that protects people and puts the needs of hardworking Americans first.
Evidence
"Today, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04), Congressman Don Beyer (VA-08), and Congressman James Moylan (GU-AL) introduced the bipartisan Protecting Consumers From Deceptive AI Act to establish technical standards and guidelines for generative AI content and ensure that the use of this technology is disclosed when it is used to create or modify audio and visual content."
"Today, Representatives Valerie Foushee (D-NC) and Blake Moore (R-UT) introduced bipartisan legislation to protect children from AI companion chatbots."
The bill text includes prohibitions on minor access to AI companions, age-verification obligations, and disclosure rules for AI chatbots.
The sponsored-legislation page lists H.R.8479 as sponsored and H.R.8488 as cosponsored; H.R.8479 is described as requiring NIST task forces for standards on identifying generative AI content and disclosure when audio or visual content is created or substantially modified by generative AI.
Assessments
The promise was to continue advocating for AI safeguards, not necessarily to enact a final statutory outcome. During the same federal House term, Foushee sponsored or co-led multiple AI-safeguard bills, including measures on AI companion chatbots for minors and generative-AI disclosure/transparency standards. Those actions directly match the promised advocacy for protecting communities from AI-related harms and risks, so the advocacy commitment is fulfilled even though the underlying bills are not shown as enacted.
