Its AI responsibilities
The only subcommittee in Congress with 'Artificial Intelligence' in its formal name on the Judiciary side. Send here: AI training data and copyright (fair use, licensing, transparency of training corpora), digital replicas and the right of publicity, AI and patents/inventorship, Copyright Office and USPTO policy, Section 230 and platform liability, and courts' use of AI. If you are a creator, rightsholder or platform, this is the House door.
Current business
VERIFIED: July 2026 hearing at which witnesses urged action on a site-blocking mechanism and the NO FAKES Act (ipwatchdog, 2 Jul 2026).
