What this bill would do
The No Adversarial AI Act aims to protect the United States Government from artificial intelligence produced by foreign adversaries. It requires the Federal Acquisition Security Council to create a list of such AI and publish it on a public website. The bill mandates that executive agency heads review and consider excluding AI from these foreign entities from their operations. Agencies must use specific authorities to consider removing these products from their acquisition processes. However, exceptions can be granted for certain mission-critical or scientific purposes.
