What this bill would do
The Foreign Adversary AI Risk Assessment and Diplomacy Act requires the Secretary of State to evaluate the risks posed by foreign adversaries using generative artificial intelligence for malicious purposes. Within 180 days of enactment, and annually for three years thereafter, the Secretary must submit these assessments to specific congressional committees. The assessments are meant to analyze past incidents involving synthetic media, weapons development, or cyber operations. They must also examine emerging trends and provide recommendations to mitigate these risks. The unclassified portions of these reports must be posted on a public Department of State website.
