What does SHORT TITLE. of Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025 do?

This bill is formally titled the Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025.

What does SENSE OF CONGRESS; PURPOSES. of Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025 do?

This section expresses the sense of Congress that rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities pose both opportunities and risks. These risks are identified as impacting national security, public safety, economic competitiveness, civil liberties, and labor markets. The section states the United States must establish a secure testing and evaluation program to manage emerging AI risks as it approaches human-level capabilities. The program's purpose is to provide Congress with empirical data, lessons, and insights for Federal oversight of AI. The program aims to ensure regulatory decisions are based on empirical testing and to safeguard American citizens.

What does DEFINITIONS. of Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025 do?

What does OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPATE; ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES. of Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025 do?

This section establishes an obligation for covered advanced artificial intelligence system developers to participate in a program. Developers must provide materials and information to the Secretary upon request, potentially including code, training data, model weights, and implementation details. Deployment of advanced artificial intelligence systems in interstate or foreign commerce is prohibited unless the deploying person complies with the participation requirements. Violations of the participation or deployment requirements are subject to a fine of at least $1,000,000 per day of the violation.

What does ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EVALUATION PROGRAM. of Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025 do?

This section establishes the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Evaluation Program within the Department of Energy. The program will offer standardized testing and evaluation of advanced AI systems to collect data on the likelihood of adverse AI incidents. Testing protocols will include adversarial testing by red teams to simulate real-world AI jailbreaking techniques. The program aims to develop recommended containment protocols, contingency planning, and mitigation strategies based on testing data. It will also inform the creation of evidence-based standards and regulatory options for AI governance. The program will assist Congress in assessing the potential for AI systems to reach artificial superintelligence and pose existential threats. Within 360 days of enactment, the Secretary must submit a detailed recommendation to Congress for Federal oversight of advanced AI systems. This plan will include analysis of testing outcomes, proposals for regulatory structures, and suggestions for automated monitoring of AI systems. The plan will be updated at least annually and submitted to Congress. The program is slated to terminate seven years after enactment unless renewed by Congress.
