Highbeam Atlas · Preview
Technology legislation, organized by the problem it tries to solve.
Atlas tracks technology legislation in the 119th Congress and in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It sorts bills by the problem they address and the remedy they prescribe, so you can go from a problem to the bills that answer it.
What Atlas answers
Four questions, kept separate on purpose.
Where lawmakers are paying attention
Which problems draw the most bills, where, and how that is shifting.
What remedies they are trying
The mechanism each bill prescribes, compared across bills and states.
What has evidence of working
Kept apart from activity, so a busy topic is not mistaken for a solved one.
Where views and coalitions diverge
Who supports which remedies, and where the disagreements lie.
About this preview
What is real, and what is still a placeholder.

Atomic interventions
Grouped automatically from each bill’s provisions, such as a design duty or a private right of action. A starting point for review, not a final taxonomy.
The terrain
Problems named in 1,176 federal AI bills in the 119th Congress, clustered by meaning. Height shows how many bills name a problem.
