Family Compliance Score
I had AI analyze the H.R. 1, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" from the U.S. House of Representatives
This isn't just sci-fi art—it's political commentary brought to life through AI collaboration.
I wanted to explore the human impact of complex legislation in a visceral, new way. I had AI assistants
analyze H.R. 1, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" from the U.S. House of Representatives, then imagine artwork depicting a sci-fi world where its policies reached their logical conclusion.
The AI synthesized several real provisions into one chilling concept: a "Family Compliance Score."
While fictional, this dystopian monitoring system was directly inspired by actual proposals in the bill that would dramatically increase government surveillance of families and tie access to essential benefits to specific monitored behaviors.
The Real-World Foundation
This artwork emerged from analyzing how these actual H.R. 1 provisions could combine:
Government-Mandated Work Requirements:
SNAP work requirements under "SEC. 10002. ABLE BODIED ADULTS WITHOUT DEPENDENTS WORK REQUIREMENTS"
Medicaid "community engagement" requirements forcing individuals to prove they're working, volunteering, or in education to maintain healthcare coverage
Intensive Government Monitoring:
Mandatory eligibility checks every six months instead of annually, creating a surveillance apparatus that constantly monitors compliance
New verification systems including the "National Accuracy Clearinghouse" to prevent multiple benefit issuances
Systematic Exclusion of Families:
Tax credit restrictions requiring specific Social Security Numbers that exclude mixed-status families
New fees of $1,000+ for asylum applications and $550+ for work authorization, creating financial barriers for immigrant families
Why This Matters
Political scientists studying authoritarianism would recognize these as classic techniques: creating "in-groups" and "out-groups," expanding state surveillance over specific populations, and using compliance requirements as tools of social control.
The "Family Compliance Score" isn't real—yet. But when you combine mandatory work reporting, constant eligibility verification, and systematic exclusion of certain families, you're building the infrastructure for exactly this kind of system.
Art makes the abstract tangible. This is what that future could feel like.
