Resolved: The United States federal government substantially reform the use of Artificial Intelligence technology

Case Summary: “Filter Bubble” refers to Google and social media’s practice of returning customized search results to each person based on their past searches, particularly their political interests.  In theory, this hardens people’s political views because it only gives them things that reinforce and agree with their existing beliefs.  Democracy destroyed, etc…   The Filter Bubble Transparency Act is a poorly written mass of confusion currently pending in Congress that’s supposed to stop this from happening by regulating internet search engines.  But the problem doesn’t exist and even if it did, FBTA wouldn’t solve it.
