This summer U.S. lawmakers released two of the first legislative proposals for regulating AI agents: the federal AI AGENT Act and California SB 1106. The AI AGENT Act would establish a consumer‑facing framework based on the agent’s relationship with a user, while SB 1106 defines agents by their technical capabilities and access. Both bills aim to create clearer governance for agentic AI systems.
Why it matters: The proposals mark the first U.S. legislative attempts to define and regulate AI agents, shaping future AI governance.
