Requires AI developers to test advanced systems, protecting Americans from new technology risks.
This bill would start a new program at the Department of Energy to test powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems for dangers. Companies making these AI systems would need to join this testing and share details. If they don't, they would face big daily fines and could not release their technology. The program aims to collect facts to help Congress create rules that protect Americans from AI risks.
Today, there is no required federal program to test advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems for risks, and developers are not required to share information or face penalties. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Energy would create a program to test these AI systems, and developers would be required to participate and provide system details, facing daily fines of at least $1,000,000 if they do not comply.
