What this bill does
H.R. 6936, the Federal Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act of 2024, would require federal agencies to use the Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This framework aims to help agencies manage risks associated with the development, procurement, and use of artificial intelligence. The bill would direct NIST to issue guidance for agencies, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) would then issue guidance to agencies to incorporate the framework and NIST's guidelines into their AI risk management efforts.
The bill affects all executive branch federal agencies that use artificial intelligence, with an exception for national security systems. It would also impact suppliers of artificial intelligence to the government by requiring them to adhere to certain standards and provide access to data, models, and parameters for testing and evaluation. Additionally, the bill proposes an initiative to provide agencies with expertise on artificial intelligence and mandates a study on the impact of the framework's application.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on January 10, 2024, and referred to two committees. As of the latest action, it has been introduced and has not yet received a vote. If passed by the House and subsequently the Senate, it would be sent to the President for signature into law.
