New law aims to protect the U.S. from foreign AI threats by requiring risk assessments.
To protect national security, this bill would make the State Department regularly check how foreign adversaries use advanced AI for harmful activities. This includes spreading propaganda or making dangerous weapons. The department would submit an initial report and three annual reports to help Congress and the public understand and tackle these threats.
Today, no specific law requires the State Department to regularly assess the dangers from foreign adversaries using generative AI for malicious activities. If this bill passes, the State Department would be required to conduct and publicly share an initial report and three annual reports. These reports would detail these threats and recommend ways to counter them.
