Requires companies to tell the Pentagon what's inside their AI products.

This bill would require companies selling artificial intelligence (AI) products or services to the Pentagon to provide a detailed list of all components, including software, data, and hardware. This 'AI functional bill of materials' would help the Department of Defense understand the AI systems it uses, making them more secure. Currently, there are no specific rules for these lists.

What Would Change

Currently, there are no specific rules requiring companies to provide a detailed list of components for artificial intelligence (AI) goods or services sold to the Department of Defense. If this bill becomes law, the Pentagon would be prohibited from signing or renewing contracts for AI products unless the company provides a detailed 'AI functional bill of materials' and can update it within 48 hours. This would give the Pentagon much more information about the AI systems it uses.

Key Provisions

Requires companies selling AI products to the Pentagon to provide a detailed 'AI functional bill of materials' before getting or renewing a contract.
Requires these AI bills of materials to be machine-readable and detailed enough for the Pentagon to quickly assess security risks and vulnerabilities.
Requires companies to update and provide a new AI bill of materials to the Pentagon within 48 hours of a request.
Extends current rules for software component lists to cover the software used in artificial intelligence systems bought by the Pentagon.
Requires the Pentagon to create new rules and guidance within 180 days for how to use and securely store these AI bills of materials.
