Advanced AI Security Readiness Act
Latest action (11 Jun 2025): Introduced
What this bill does
H.R. 3919, the Advanced AI Security Readiness Act, would direct the Director of the National Security Agency, working through the Artificial Intelligence Security Center, to develop a strategy—called the "AI Security Playbook"—for protecting advanced artificial intelligence technologies from theft by nation-states and other highly resourced threat actors. The playbook would identify vulnerabilities in AI data centers and among developers, catalog sensitive information or components that could aid adversaries, outline detection and response strategies, and assess what level of government involvement might be needed to secure highly advanced AI systems, including a hypothetical concept for building such systems in a secure government environment.
The bill would primarily affect the NSA, other intelligence and national security agencies, and AI developers and researchers in the private sector, who the Director would be required to consult in developing the playbook. It also involves collaboration with a federally funded research center with relevant AI security expertise. The bill explicitly states it does not authorize new regulatory or enforcement powers.
The NSA would be required to submit an initial report to House and Senate intelligence committees within 90 days of enactment and a final report, including public and classified versions, within 270 days. The bill was introduced June 11, 2025, and referred to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where it awaits further action before any vote.
