What this bill does
H.R. 7058, the Foreign Adversary AI Risk Assessment and Diplomacy Act, would require the Secretary of State to assess risks the United States faces from foreign adversaries using generative artificial intelligence for harmful purposes. Within 180 days of enactment, and annually for three years after, the Secretary would submit a report to Congress covering incidents involving AI-generated propaganda or influence operations, AI's use in developing chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons, malicious cyber operations, and other military or intelligence applications. Reports would also analyze trends, attribution to specific countries, and policy implications, and would include recommendations for countering these risks. Reports must be largely public, with a classified annex allowed only to protect intelligence sources and methods.
The bill primarily affects the State Department, which would coordinate with other federal agencies to produce these assessments, and Congress, which would receive and review the reports. It also includes a "sense of Congress" statement encouraging diplomatic engagement—bilateral and multilateral—to address AI misuse by adversarial nations and to promote international norms for responsible AI use.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Michael Baumgartner and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It has since been ordered reported by that committee, passing by a 45-0 vote on March 26, 2026. The bill would next need to be considered by the full House of Representatives before potentially moving to the Senate.
