Hello, based police
Congress needs transparency with AI.
When it comes to national security and public safety implications, information from the private sector about what these models are doing and what they're capable of is imperative to protecting Americans. 🧵
The AI Incident Reporting Act creates a framework for the private sector to flag AI systems capable of evading human oversight, enabling biological warfare, or threatening critical infrastructure. Companies notify Commerce within 7 days — Commerce notifies Congress within 48 hours for threats to public safety.
Private sector companies are really the canaries in the coal mine — they'll see it before anybody else does. That's why I introduced the AI Incident Reporting Act.
This bill addresses a major issue: national security, public safety, and the need for the private sector to carry a role of responsibility in making sure these AI systems don't work around human involvement and against human interest.
That's the goal: transparency that lets Congress act early, before a problem becomes a crisis.
