Show full summary
  • Families and citizens would get public, unclassified analysis of incidents that target U.S. people and communities, including synthetic media, foreign influence operations, and AI-enabled cyber or weapons-related threats.
  • U.S. diplomacy and allies would be the focus of bilateral and multilateral engagement and efforts to promote responsible state behavior and international norms around generative AI.
  • Congress and oversight bodies would receive reports to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee within 180 days and then annually for 3 years.

State reports on foreign AI risks

This bill would require the Secretary of State, with other agencies, to send Congress regular reports on risks from foreign adversaries using generative AI. The first report would be due not later than 180 days after enactment, then once a year for three years to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Each report would review incidents from the prior year (including synthetic media and propaganda; AI used to aid chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons; malicious cyber operations; and military, surveillance, or intelligence uses), analyze trends and attribution, and give recommendations to reduce those risks. Reports would be unclassified and posted publicly, but a classified annex could be added to protect intelligence sources and methods.
