What this bill would do
The AI Flaw Reporting and Security Enhancement Act directs the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create a program for the voluntary reporting, collection, and tracking of artificial intelligence flaws. In consultation with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, NIST will work with industry, academia, and other groups to define AI flaws and develop technical standards for managing them. The bill also calls for the creation of infrastructure, which may include a national database of AI flaws. Finally, the Director of NIST must submit a report to Congress within three years regarding the implementation of the program.
