What this bill would do
The "No Adversarial AI Act" aims to protect the United States Government from artificial intelligence produced by foreign adversaries. The Federal Acquisition Security Council is tasked with creating a list of such AI and updating it at least every 180 days. This list must be published on a public website by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Executive agencies are required to review and consider excluding AI from these foreign entities. However, agencies may approve exceptions for specific needs like scientific research or counterterrorism.
