Bill > S3202

This bill requires the Director of the National Security Agency (NSA) to develop comprehensive security guidance for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, focusing on protecting these systems from potential cybersecurity risks and foreign threats. The guidance will identify vulnerabilities unique to AI systems, such as specific threat vectors and supply chain risks, and provide strategies for protecting, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyber threats. The Director must engage with AI developers, researchers, and experts through comprehensive research methods including interviews, roundtable discussions, facility visits, and collaboration with national laboratories and research centers. The bill mandates two reports to congressional intelligence committees: an initial progress report within 180 days and a final report within 365 days, both of which will include unclassified and publicly available versions. The guidance will cover critical aspects like protecting model weights, mitigating insider threats, implementing network access controls, and developing counterintelligence measures. The bill specifically targets advanced AI technologies that could pose significant national security risks if acquired by foreign actors, such as AI systems with high-performance capabilities in areas like cyber offense, research and development, and autonomous decision-making.
