H.R.9279

Preventing AI Censorship Act

Introduced·6/11/26

Preventing AI Censorship Act allows citizens to sue federal employees for First Amendment violations related to AI.

The Preventing AI Censorship Act provides a right of action against federal employees who violate First Amendment rights in relation to artificial intelligence. This includes actions that filter, distort, or suppress AI-generated expression based on viewpoint or other factors, or that interfere with lawful AI use. The act defines "artificial intelligence provider" and "covered conduct," and ensures it does not limit other legal remedies. Injured parties can seek damages, injunctive relief, or other redress.
