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
Require disclosure when generative AI is used to create or modify audio and visual content and establish technical standards and guidelines for such content.
Occurrences
H.R.8479 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, to ensure that audio or visual content created or substantially modified by generative artificial intelligence includes a disclosure acknowledging the generative artificial intelligence origin of such content, and for other purposes.
My Protecting Consumers From Deceptive AI Act will help protect creators and creative work and ensure Americans know when they are viewing or interacting with AI-generated content.
Evidence
The office said the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee advanced a bipartisan AI package that included Foushee's Protecting Consumers From Deceptive AI Act and other Foushee-led provisions on generative AI labeling, frontier AI safety, data center energy and water use, and independent testing and evaluation.
Foushee and Casar introduced the AI Workforce Impact Study Act of 2026, directing GAO to study AI's impact on jobs since 2022 and examine job losses, job gains, worker monitoring, and gaps in federal data collection.
Assessments
Foushee appears to have materially advanced the disclosure/labeling side of the promise in her current term: the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee advanced a bipartisan AI package that included her Protecting Consumers From Deceptive AI Act and other Foushee-led generative AI labeling provisions. That is meaningful progress, but the record does not show final enactment or a completed technical-standards-and-guidelines regime, so the commitment was only partially delivered.
