Signed into Law

Referred to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Requires U.S. intelligence to assess threats from China's artificial intelligence systems.

This bill makes the Director of National Intelligence write a report on China's AI systems. The report would check for biases and risks to U.S. security and democracy. No law currently requires such a detailed review.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific law requiring the Director of National Intelligence to produce a National Intelligence Estimate focused solely on artificial intelligence systems from China. If this bill passes, the Director of National Intelligence must send a detailed report to Congress within 180 days. This report would cover specific risks, biases, and recommendations.

Key Provisions

Requires the Director of National Intelligence to send a report to Congress about artificial intelligence systems from China within 180 days.
Requires the report to check if China's commercial AI systems have hidden biases, including those based on ethnicity, religion, political views, or nationality.
Requires the report to analyze how these AI systems are built, where their data comes from, and what they are meant to do.
Requires the report to assess if these AI systems could be used for spying, spreading false information, or influencing other countries against the U.S. or its allies.
Requires the report to identify risks these systems pose to democratic values, personal freedoms, and military decisions worldwide.
