How to track US federal AI policy documents and open comment periods
Short answer
Federal agencies publish rules, notices and requests for comment in the Federal Register. The Policywren dataset tracks AI-related documents: load "open_comment_periods" to see which comment deadlines are coming up, and "documents" for the full list.
- pip install datasets
- Load "open_comment_periods" and sort by closing date.
- Load "documents" for every tracked document with its agency and type.
- Open the Federal Register link before you comment or cite.
Copy-paste code
