The government's financial research office would be required to collect detailed information about how companies are funding artificial intelligence development and share that data with Congress, then recommend ways that financial regulators and lawmakers can reduce risks to the overall economy. This would help lawmakers and regulators understand whether massive investments in AI could create financial problems similar to past crises, and what safeguards might be needed. The bill affects tech companies, investors, banks, and financial regulators who oversee the stability of the financial system.
