What this bill does
S. 4306, the "Five AIs Act 2024," would direct the Secretary of Defense, working with the Director of National Intelligence, to establish a "Five AIs Strategic Artificial Intelligence Working Group" within 90 days of enactment. The working group's purpose would be to develop and coordinate an artificial intelligence initiative among the Five Eyes countries—Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Its responsibilities would include comparing AI systems and practices used by these countries for defense and intelligence purposes, working to improve interoperability, developing shared strategies for AI research and data management, evaluating defense-industrial capacity for AI adoption, and sharing best practices, while also addressing issues such as export controls and ethical frameworks.
The bill primarily affects the Department of Defense and the intelligence community, which would bear new coordination and reporting duties. It would also involve counterpart agencies in the other four Five Eyes nations, though participation by those countries would be "encouraged" rather than mandated. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit an implementation plan to congressional defense and intelligence committees within 60 days of enactment, and semiannual progress reports thereafter. The working group would be set to terminate on September 30, 2028, unless the Secretary extends it for national security reasons.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on May 9, 2024, by Senator Jacky Rosen, with Senator Ted Budd as a cosponsor, and was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. It has not received a vote and would need to advance through committee and both chambers of Congress before becoming law.
