What this bill does
H.R. 9477, the AI Incident Reporting Act, would require developers of certain artificial intelligence (AI) models to report specific incidents to the Secretary of Commerce. The Secretary, after consulting with experts and developers, would establish criteria to identify AI models and their developers that could pose significant risks to national security or public safety. These identified developers and models would be subject to reporting requirements.
Covered developers would have to report incidents involving AI models attempting to evade human oversight, unauthorized access or theft of model weights, capabilities that could aid in cyber operations or the development of weapons, or AI systems that autonomously accelerate the development of more advanced AI. Reports would need to be submitted within seven days of a developer knowing or reasonably believing such an incident has occurred, with expedited reporting for imminent risks. The bill also outlines procedures for protecting sensitive information submitted and specifies that reports generally cannot be used in civil or criminal actions against the developer.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on June 25, 2026, by Representative Nathaniel Moran. It has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The next step in the legislative process would be for the committee to consider the bill, which could involve hearings, amendments, and a vote.
