Bill > HR1736

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct annual assessments on terrorism threats involving generative artificial intelligence (AI), which is a type of AI that can create synthetic content like text, images, and videos. The assessments, to be conducted for five years, must analyze incidents where terrorist organizations have used generative AI to spread extremist messaging, recruit individuals to violence, or develop weapons. Each assessment must include recommendations for countering these threats and will be submitted to congressional committees in an unclassified format, with the potential for a classified annex. The bill mandates that the Secretary coordinate with various federal agencies, including the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the FBI, to gather and share information about potential generative AI terrorism risks. The assessments must also ensure compliance with privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties protections. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to brief congressional committees within 30 days of submitting each assessment and to make the unclassified portions publicly available on the Department of Homeland Security's website. The legislation aims to better understand and mitigate the emerging national security challenges posed by terrorist organizations' potential use of advanced AI technologies.
