A bipartisan resolution introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives warns that artificial intelligence platforms can magnify antisemitism without stronger safeguards and transparency.
House Resolution 863, introduced on Dec. 18 by Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.), condemns antisemitism “in all its forms, including the proliferation and amplification of antisemitic content on artificial intelligence platforms,” and urges measures to prevent online systems, such as foundational, open source, and large language AI models, from spreading hate.
“It’s never easy being Jewish in today’s 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,” Jacobs, the youngest Jewish member of Congress, stated.
The resolution—which has 26 cosponsors, including three Republicans—states that antisemitism “represents prejudice, discrimination or hostility directed at Jewish people” and continues to threaten “American values, social stability and American unity.”
Online platforms, including AI and digital social platforms, “have proven capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination and algorithmically charged amplification of content that drives antisemitic tropes, Holocaust denial and distortion, extremist content, conspiracy theories, harassment and explicit calls to violence and celebration,” the resolution states.
The measure cites documented cases in which AI systems have generated or amplified anti-Jewish bias, warning that such technologies can be “weaponized to target Jewish individuals and institutions if left inadequately governed.”
Under the resolution, the House would affirm that combating antisemitism is “a national priority” and that companies deploying AI systems have a responsibility to implement safeguards, including consultation with antisemitism experts.
House Resolution 863 would also support digital literacy—particularly among younger audiences—and encourage collaboration among government, civil society, academia and industry to develop effective interventions against antisemitic content and harassment.
