Collaboration on Adversarial Threats and Security Risks Act

Information Sharing for Security: Non-Federal entities can exchange information or assistance to protect against various security risks, such as the theft or weaponization of artificial intelligence by a covered nation (Section 3(a)(1)).

Mitigating Large-Scale Threats: The bill allows for coordination to reduce risks related to the development of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons, or the disruption of critical infrastructure (Section 2(6)(B) and Section 2(6)(C)).

Control Over AI Development: Entities can coordinate to limit the development or deployment of artificial intelligence that might substantially reduce a person's or agency's ability to oversee or control the technology (Section 2(6)(D)).

Protection of Proprietary Information: Information shared with the Assistant Attorney General regarding coordinated restrictions is exempt from public disclosure, which helps protect the substance of the submissions (Section s 3(e)).

Risk of Misuse: The exemption does not apply if a non-Federal entity uses received information or assistance for purposes other than the intended security purpose (Section 3(b)).

Prohibited Commercial Activities: The act does not permit entities to use these exemptions for price-fixing, allocating markets between competitors, or monopolizing a market (Section 3(d)(1)).

Burden of Proof: Any entity claiming the antitrust exemption must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that their actions were taken in good faith and for the exclusive purpose described in the act (Section 3(c)).

Risk of Increased Security Threats: The Attorney General can still seek an injunction if they demonstrate that the entities' actions are likely to result in an overall increase in artificial intelligence security risks (Section 4(b)(2)).
