A bill to require a report on the use of artificial intelligence with respect to access to unminimized information collected pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to submit a detailed report within 120 days on how artificial intelligence systems are currently used to access unminimized intelligence data collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The report must specify the AI systems involved, explain their functions, describe the data used to train them, and outline the testing and monitoring processes, while also identifying the government or private entities that developed or modified these tools. Additionally, the law mandates that before any new AI system gains access to such sensitive information, officials must notify Congress and relevant court judges, providing an assessment of whether the proposed use complies with existing laws and court orders. The unclassified version of the initial report will be made publicly available on the websites of the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
