PROACTIV Artificial Intelligence Data Act of 2025

# Summary of S. 2381: PROACTIV Artificial Intelligence Data Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to address child safety in the context of artificial intelligence by establishing requirements for how AI systems handle data related to child exploitation. The legislation would create measures to help detect, prevent, and combat the use of AI technology in producing or distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). It would likely establish data-sharing protocols between tech companies and law enforcement, set standards for AI safety, and potentially require companies to implement detection tools. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects AI companies, social media platforms, technology firms, and child protection agencies. It would create obligations for technology companies to implement safeguards and report suspected child exploitation.

Law enforcement and child safety organizations would gain tools to combat AI-enabled crimes against children. The exact provisions are not yet publicly detailed since the bill remains in committee, but the focus areas listed include child safety, technology standards, and research on protecting minors from AI-related harms. **Current Status** S. 2381 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and is currently in committee review, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill has not advanced to passage at this time.
