Enhancing AI Safety and Security: Tracking Vulnerabilities and Incidents.

This law aims to improve the safety of Artificial Intelligence systems increasingly present in daily life by updating the national vulnerability database to include AI-specific threats. The government will also study the best way to establish a voluntary system for reporting major AI security breaches and safety failures. These actions are intended to protect citizens from dangerous errors, hacker attacks, and AI system malfunctions.
Key points
The government will establish new standards and definitions to better track and manage security flaws in AI systems.
An expert group will assess the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of voluntary reporting of substantial AI security and safety incidents by companies.
The goal is to increase the reliability and safety of AI used in public services and consumer products, without granting new enforcement authority to the NIST agency.
