What this bill does
# S. 3336 — Reliable Artificial Intelligence Research Act of 2025
This bill would direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to run at least two federal prize competitions related to artificial intelligence safety research. One competition would focus on advancing "interpretability" — the ability of humans to understand how AI models make decisions — with relevance to commercially available or widely used AI products. The other would focus on "adversarial robustness," meaning AI models' ability to resist attacks designed to produce incorrect, restricted, or harmful outputs. Both competitions must begin within 270 days of enactment, may be structured in phases (such as submitting frameworks, models, or conducting red-teaming), and the Secretary must consult with officials from the Commerce Department, NIST, the National Cyber Director, the National Science Foundation, and outside AI industry experts.
The bill primarily affects the Department of Homeland Security, which would administer the competitions and could contract with private companies, nonprofits, or state, local, territorial, or Tribal agencies to help design and run them. It would also affect AI researchers, companies, and institutions that choose to participate. After the first competition concludes, DHS must report to relevant congressional committees on lessons learned and recommendations. The bill authorizes $10 million total for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on December 3, 2025, by Senator Maggie Hassan, with Senator Banks as a cosponsor, and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It has not yet been considered by that committee, and would need to pass the Senate, the House, and be signed by the President to become law.
