MODERATE

The bill was amended to expand the definition of covered artificial intelligence systems and significantly strengthen transparency requirements. The changes add new categories of AI like location analysis and data fusion, require agencies to publish internal validation summaries, and mandate that individuals receive disclosures through their attorneys. These updates aim to increase public oversight of AI tools and ensure suspects are properly informed about AI use in their investigations.

Scope change

The scope of covered AI systems was expanded to include additional technologies such as location analysis and data fusion platforms, and the applicability of disclosure rules was clarified to cover data derived from AI regardless of ownership.

DEFINITION

Added 'location analysis, data fusion and intelligence analysis platforms' and 'probabilistic genotyping' to the list of covered AI systems, while removing 'convoy analysis'.

Added a new definition for 'Use' to clarify that it includes operating or accessing AI systems or data derived from them, regardless of who owns the system.

REQUIREMENT

Mandated that agency disclosures must include copies of all internal validation summaries and internal performance checks for each AI system.

Changed the requirement for disclosing AI use in criminal investigations to ensure information is provided to the individual through their attorney if they are represented.

Replaced the annual inventory requirement with a specific timeline requiring disclosure at least 90 days before using new AI products and within 180 days for existing products.

Added a requirement for agencies to amend disclosures within 90 days if they acquire new AI products, enhancements, or if the product's capabilities are materially changed.
