Sara Jacobs (CA-51), the youngest Jewish Member of Congress, led Don Bacon (NE-02), Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), and Laura Friedman (CA-30) in introducing a bipartisan resolution which condemns antisemitism in all its forms, including the growing proliferation and amplification of antisemitic content on artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, and urges robust, transparent safeguards for AI systems.\n\nPeople are increasingly turning to AI to ask questions, learn information, and inform their opinions, which is especially concerning given that leading AI tools continue to generate and share grossly antisemitic content. Notably, in July, Grok posted numerous antisemitic comments, praised Adolf Hitler, and repeated conspiracy theories.\n\nRep. Sara Jacobs said: \u201cIt\u2019s never easy being Jewish in today\u2019s world, but the rise of AI is making it even harder with the rapid creation, spread, and amplification of antisemitic content that makes Jewish people actively less safe. In Congress, we have a responsibility to name antisemitism for what it is, eliminate it in all its forms, and keep up with new and evolving ways for it to proliferate \u2013 like through AI and social media platforms. Corporations must play a role too in maintaining standards and safeguards for AI systems that protect human rights and the safety of all people, including Jewish communities. That\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to introduce this bipartisan resolution so we can stand together in ensuring that AI is not a vehicle for antisemitism.\u201d\n\nRep. Don Bacon said: \u201cEverybody in our country is entitled to respect and not to be the object of hate and scorn. We want to be in a country that makes clear that antisemitism or any kind of racism is repugnant and unacceptable, including when it is generated or amplified by AI. Our bipartisan resolution makes clear that we must hold AI platforms accountable and work with them to ensure these technologies are not weaponized against Jewish communities. I\u2019m pleased to co-lead this important effort with Rep. Jacobs.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis bipartisan resolution sends an important message that we're committed to building AI that reflects our values and protects our communities. We\u2019ve already seen how AI is being used to spread antisemitism and hate. If we want AI innovation to thrive in the U.S., we need commonsense guardrails that protect people, prevent these tools from being weaponized, and support efforts to counter this threat,\u201d said Rep. Laura Friedman.\n\nRep. Juan Ciscomani said: \u201cAntisemitism has no place in our communities or anywhere in America\u2014online or offline. I\u2019m proud to co-lead Rep. Jacobs\u2019 bipartisan resolution condemning antisemitism and calling out the alarming rise of antisemitic content, including content amplified on AI platforms. Hate has no place in our society, and it is our responsibility to stand against it.\u201d\n\n\u201cArtificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how people access and consume information, but these systems are not immune to the age-old scourge of antisemitism,\u201d said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. \u201cOur research has shown that Large Language Models, AI video-generators, and open-source products consistently produce antisemitic and hateful content. When AI platforms fail to recognize antisemitic or generate content depicting harmful stereotypes, they risk distorting public discourse and fueling hate at an unprecedented scale. We\u2019re grateful to Representatives Jacobs, Bacon, Ciscomani and Friedman for their leadership in introducing this important bipartisan resolution. Technology companies must take responsibility for their products and implement stronger protections against bias to prevent their innovations from becoming weapons of hate.\u201d\n\nImran Ahmed, Founder & CEO, Center for Countering Digital Hate, said: \u201cI want to express my deep gratitude to Rep. Sara Jacobs, Rep. Don Bacon, Rep. Juan Ciscomani, and Rep. Laura Friedman for introducing this vital resolution and for taking a stand against antisemitism in all its forms, including its spread through AI platforms, which has caused real harm to American Jews. Earlier this year, CCDH\u2019s research on Sora exposed just how widespread antisemitic content has become and how easily AI can fuel and amplify these dangerous narratives. We cannot look away. Immediate action is essential, with strong, transparent safeguards needed to stop AI from deepening the wounds of antisemitic hate.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhile Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds immense promise to improve human life, it also carries serious risks of spreading antisemitism. The Jewish community has already seen AI-generated antisemitic memes purposefully deployed to evade content moderation, as well as websites and content capable of inciting real-world violence. American Jewish Committee (AJC)'s State of Antisemitism in America 2023 Report found that 72% of American Jews are concerned that generative AI will spread misinformation about Jews, highlighting a sense of unease in the Jewish community on this emerging technology. AJC thanks Representatives Sara Jacobs (D-CA), Don Bacon (R-NE), Laura Friedman (D-CA), and Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) for their leadership in confronting the growing proliferation and amplification of antisemitism through generative AI and for urging stronger safeguards to prevent its abuse,\u201d said Holly Huffnagle, Director of Antisemitism Policy, American Jewish Committee (AJC).\n\nThe Jewish Federations of North America\u2019s President & CEO, Eric D. Fingerhut, said: \u201cWe know for a fact that Internet-based communications such as social media and artificial intelligence have been pouring fuel on the flames of antisemitism. Jewish Federations feel it in our communities every day. This resolution calls out the problem for what it is and lays out concrete steps that platforms can take to ensure they are doing their part to combat this pernicious driver of antisemitism.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis resolution demonstrates that we can take antisemitism seriously without sacrificing the democratic values that have historically kept Jewish Americans safe. By calling for transparency, expert consultation, and robust safeguards while explicitly protecting civil liberties and due process, Representatives Jacobs, Bacon, Friedman and Ciscomani have charted a common-sense path that has earned bipartisan support. The Nexus Project is proud to endorse this balanced approach to confronting hate in the digital age,\u201d said Kevin Rachlin, Vice President for Government Relations and Washington Director at the Nexus Project.\n\nThe bipartisan resolution:\n\nCondemns antisemitism in all its forms, including when it manifests and is amplified through AI and social media platforms, tools, and services\n\nAffirms that combating antisemitism is a national priority and urges AI companies to adopt strong safeguards in consultation with antisemitism experts\n\nEncourages standards and tools such as red teaming, risk-identification frameworks, and dedicated data sets to better detect and mitigate antisemitism in AI systems.\n\nCalls for improved data sharing and researcher access to enable evidence-based oversight of antisemitism on AI-enabled platforms\n\nSupports digital literacy, Holocaust remembrance, and public awareness efforts, particularly for youth, to counter AI-driven antisemitic narratives\n\nEncourages collaboration among government, civil society, academia, and industry to develop effective interventions against antisemitic content and harassment\n\nUrges periodic public transparency reporting by AI platforms on antisemitic content and related safety measures\n\nReaffirms that efforts to address antisemitism on AI platforms must protect constitutional rights, including free expression, civil liberties, due process, and privacy, and avoid discriminatory or overbroad enforcement\n\nCalls on all stakeholders to safeguard the dignity of Jewish communities and to advance AI innovation that upholds human rights, safety, and democratic values", 1, "2026-04-02T05:33:17Z", "2026-04-02T05:34:59Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sarajacobs.house.gov/news/press-releases/reps-jacobs-bacon-ciscomani-friedman-lead-bipartisan-resolution-condemning-antisemitic-content-on-ai-platforms"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.17175530269742, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
