H.R. 9323, Regulatory Framework Creation. Quorum's AI analysis reads it as a trade-off: gains for some, costs for others.
H.R. 9323 · Mixed
What it does
This bill creates a new federal Department of Advanced Technology and Artificial Intelligence, headed by a Senate-confirmed Secretary, to develop a unified AI framework across all federal agencies, establish safety standards and incident-reporting systems, fund AI research, and coordinate workforce and consumer protections. The bill directs the Government Accountability Office to audit existing AI regulations and programs across agencies within 180 days and recommend consolidation or improvements.
The analysis names technology consulting firms (Cognizant, Accenture, Deloitte) — and 3 more groups — among the beneficiaries.
The trade-off
The bill does not specify funding, staffing, or budget authority for the new department—Congress will need separate appropriations legislation, creating a window for underfunding or political capture.
Transparency scores 65%, with a medium warning level and no detached riders.
