Artificial Intelligence Bug Bounty Act of 2023
S 2502, the Artificial Intelligence Bug Bounty Act of 2023, requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to create a bug bounty program for critical AI systems it uses. Within 180 days of enactment, the DoD's Chief Data and AI Officer must develop this program, which contractors must be allowed to participate in through new contracts. The bill mandates a congressional briefing within one year on the program's development and future plans. This affects DoD contractors and the DoD itself, focusing on improving security for AI systems through public vulnerability reporting, without mandating AI use or program implementation.
