Secure A.I. Act of 2024
Latest action (1 May 2024): Introduced
What this bill does
S. 4230, the Secure Artificial Intelligence Act of 2024, would direct federal agencies to build new tools and processes for tracking security and safety problems in artificial intelligence systems. It would require the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to update its National Vulnerability Database to cover AI-specific security weaknesses and, with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), create a voluntary public database for tracking AI security and safety "incidents." It also directs CISA to adapt the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Program for AI, evaluate whether existing reporting standards adequately cover AI vulnerabilities, and convene stakeholders to develop best practices for AI supply-chain risks (such as data labeling, training-data provenance, and use of open-source or proprietary datasets). Separately, it requires the National Security Agency to establish an Artificial Intelligence Security Center to provide a research test-bed, develop guidance against "counter-AI" attacks, and promote secure AI adoption for national security systems.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies (NIST, CISA, NSA, OMB) tasked with new reporting and coordination duties, as well as AI developers, vendors, researchers, and critical-infrastructure operators who may voluntarily participate in the incident database, testing programs, or best-practice development. Participation in most of the new tracking and testing mechanisms is voluntary rather than mandatory, and the bill emphasizes confidentiality and anonymization for those who report incidents.
The bill was introduced by Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), with Senator Thom Tillis as a cosponsor, on May 1, 2024, and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. It has not received a vote and would need committee action, floor votes in both chambers, and presidential signature to become law.
