Artificial Intelligence and Biosecurity Risk Assessment Act

This bill requires the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (within HHS) to assess how emerging AI technologies - like open-source models and large language models - could be misused to develop biological weapons, viruses, or chemical weapons. It mandates regular monitoring of global biological risks that could cause mass casualties or destabilize societies, and directs the inclusion of these findings in the National Health Security Strategy. The law directly affects federal health security planning by adding this specific AI-biosecurity risk assessment to existing public health responsibilities. It creates a new procedural requirement for federal agencies to evaluate and report on these emerging threats.
