How to Check Bill Sheets Have the Right Bills Using the Similar Bills Tab

As part of our AI Assist service, we have an AI-generated similar bills feature. On bill pages there is a tab called Similar Bills. When you click on this tab, for a bill in a 2024 session or later, an AI tool will generate a list of bills that are similar to the bill you are looking at. See this post for more details about the Similar Bills tab.

You can use this feature to quickly and easily check that your existing bill sheets have all the most relevant bills.

Imagine I've prepared several bill sheets related to the risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI), covering the whole of the U.S. One of my bill sheets is about deep fakes, and one of the relevant bills is AK HB306:

I can click on the bill number to be taken to the bill page, and then click on Similar Bills to see the (friendly!) AI recommendations:

AK HB306 is a bill that tackles various aspects of AI security, not just deep fakes, so the list of recommended bills covers broader topics such as election interference and protecting consumers. There are plenty of bills with scores above 70, so our helpful AI is confident that they are good matches. The AI summary tells me that AZ SB1515 is a bill that aims to 'regulate the use of deep fakes in politics'. It seems like an important bill, so and I can check to see whether it's on any of my bill sheets by clicking the + on the far left:

How to add a similar bill to a bill sheet

There are dates in the Added column for my AI - Deep fake bill sheet (of course, because that's where the bill came from) and also for my more general Artificial Intelligence Legislation sheet. But it isn't on my AI - voting bill sheet, and it really should be.

I can add it simply by clicking the + next to that bill sheet, and today's date will appear in the Added column to show it's been added:

By repeating that process, I can double check that all of the relevant bills are on my bill sheets.
