Protecting Government from Foreign Adversary AI
This act aims to protect the U.S. government from artificial intelligence (AI) originating from foreign countries deemed adversaries. This means government agencies will be prohibited from using AI systems developed by these nations, enhancing the security of state data and operations. For citizens, this translates to increased trust in government services, as they will be safeguarded against potential threats from foreign AI.
Key points
The government will create a list of AI systems from foreign adversaries.
Government agencies will be prohibited from acquiring or using AI from this list, with limited exceptions (e.g., for scientific research, testing, counterterrorism, or critical functions).
The list will be regularly updated, and companies can request removal if they certify their AI is not from a foreign adversary.
