SBA Artificial Intelligence Utilization Act of 2026
Current understanding
House-passed bill requiring the Small Business Administration to publish an annual report on its use of AI and machine learning — covering benefits, risks, and how humans remain involved in AI-informed decisions — and to brief the House and Senate Small Business Committees within 30 days of each report. The measure is agency-specific transparency rather than a substantive governance regime: it does not restrict SBA’s AI deployments or create user-facing rights, but it would make SBA’s internal AI use visible to Congress and the public on a recurring basis.
