Artificial Intelligence Data Authorization and Transparency Act (AI DATA Act, H.R. 10578)

Properties

jurisdiction: US, federal
level: federal
domain: transparency
status: proposed
scope: Federal bill authorizing new federal labor-market data collection programs (BLS establishment surveys, Census time-use surveys, longitudinal labor surveys) and requiring the Census Bureau and the Departments of Labor and Commerce to measure and publicly report on the workforce impacts of AI adoption.
obligations: Directs new monthly BLS establishment surveys on job openings, hiring, and separations by industry, occupation, and geography; annual household time-use surveys addressing digital tools and emerging technologies in the workplace; longitudinal labor-market surveys with new cohorts every 10 years; a Census Bureau Business Trends and Outlook Survey that must incorporate questions and analysis necessary to assess the adoption of artificial intelligence and related technologies and the impact of that adoption on the workforce, published quarterly; and an annual joint Labor/Commerce Secretary report analyzing hiring, separations, job openings, and occupational demand associated with artificial intelligence. Each data program sunsets after 10 years, with per-component authorized appropriations.
effectiveDate: TBD
appliesTo: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census Bureau, and the Departments of Labor and Commerce

notes: Introduced September 24, 2026 by Rep. Dave Min (D-CA), with cosponsors including Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA); referred to the House Committees on Education and Workforce and on Oversight and Government Reform. Not yet passed by either chamber. Official title: to authorize certain labor market data collection activities and to improve federal measurement of the workforce impacts of artificial intelligence. Distinct from all currently tracked entities: a federal statistical-measurement mandate specifically about AI's workforce impact, not a compliance obligation on AI developers or deployers themselves; included on the same rationale as the already-tracked us-ai-tax-work-protection-act-hr10044 (a federal bill responding to AI's labor-market effects). Quote corrected after verification: the bill's own text reads 'the impact on the workforce of such adoption', not the shorter phrase originally drafted.
