New AI oversight for FISA data
If enacted, the bill would require the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to file a classified and unclassified report within 120 days listing every use of artificial intelligence that had access to unminimized information collected under FISA. The report would name each system and describe its purpose, testing and continuous monitoring (including human review), who developed or modified it, the training or fine-tuning data and limits, when and what access it had to unminimized FISA data, any extra data sources, and any prior Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders. The unclassified report would be posted on the Department of Justice and Office of the Director of National Intelligence websites and sent to congressional intelligence and judiciary committees and FISA judges. The bill would also require the Attorney General and DNI to notify those same recipients before giving any future AI system access to unminimized FISA data and to include a legal assessment of compliance. The bill would adopt the definition of “artificial intelligence” from the National AI Initiative Act upon enactment.
