Testing and Evaluation Systems for Trusted AI: Securing Critical Infrastructure
This Act establishes a 7-year pilot program to rigorously test and secure Artificial Intelligence systems used by federal agencies and critical infrastructure, such as power grids. The goal is to ensure that AI is reliable, safe, and resilient against attacks, which directly enhances public safety and prevents major service disruptions. Furthermore, it mandates stricter screening procedures for foreign nationals at National Laboratories to protect sensitive technology from espionage.
Key points
Implementation of an AI testing program (red-teaming and blue-teaming) to identify vulnerabilities and prevent failures in systems used in critical infrastructure.
Strengthening national security by assessing the risk of AI misuse, including in the context of weapons of mass destruction proliferation.
Requirement for rigorous screening of foreign visitors and assignees from 'countries of risk' at National Laboratories to safeguard sensitive research and technology against counterintelligence threats.
