Voting analysis

One of Luz Rivas's bills would create a cabinet department for advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Most members legislating on this subject write rules for existing agencies to apply. Proposing a new department instead is a claim that no current body has the standing or the remit, and it is by some distance the most structural of the artificial intelligence bills on this site.
