Generative AI Terrorism Risk Assessment Act
Latest action (11 Jun 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
**What the bill would do.** S. 4762 would require the Secretary of Homeland Security, working with the Director of National Intelligence, to produce an annual assessment—for five years—of terrorism threats to the United States arising from foreign terrorist organizations' or individuals' use of generative artificial intelligence. Each report would analyze incidents from the prior year involving AI used to spread extremist propaganda, aid recruitment/radicalization, or enhance chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons capabilities, and would offer recommendations for countermeasures. Reports must be unclassified (with an optional classified annex), posted online with certain sensitive information excluded, and followed by a congressional briefing within 30 days. The bill also directs DHS to review, incorporate, and share AI-terrorism-related information with state and local fusion centers, and requires agencies like the ODNI, FBI, and intelligence community to share relevant information with DHS.
**Who it affects.** The bill primarily affects federal agencies—DHS, ODNI, FBI, and other intelligence community members—by creating new reporting, coordination, and information-sharing obligations. It also affects Congress, which would receive regular assessments and briefings, and state/local fusion centers, which would receive and contribute threat information. It does not directly regulate private AI developers or the public, though the reports would be made partly public.
**Status and next steps.** The bill was introduced in the Senate on June 11, 2026, by Senator Rick Scott (with Senator Lummis as cosponsor) and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It has not yet been voted on; the committee would need to consider and potentially advance it before any further action in the Senate or House.
