June 25 (Reuters) – A Republican lawmaker on \u2060Thursday \u2060proposed legislation that would require \u2060AI model developers to report dangerous capabilities, security breaches and \u200bsafety incidents.<\/p>\n

\n

The draft legislation, introduced by U.S. Representative Nathaniel Moran of Texas, would mandate AI companies \u200cto report to the U.S. \u200cCommerce Department within seven days of discovering dangerous activity, with Commerce required to notify \u2060Congress within \u206048 hours of the most serious incidents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

“It’s a catch-it-early and sound-the-alarm \u200bbill,” Moran said in an interview about the AI Incident Reporting Act.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0The bill comes as ever-more powerful AI models raise the risks to national security and public safety. On June 12, the \u200bCommerce Department took action against Anthropic’s latest models in the name of national \u2060security that \u2060resulted in Anthropic disabling \u2060access to \u200bthem globally. The government directive exposed the absence of a transparent framework to govern \u200bfrontier AI.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reportable activity under the \u2060draft legislation includes a model attempting to evade human oversight, circumvent safeguards, and otherwise undermine the ability of human operators to control the model. It also includes unauthorized access to model weights, which help determine a machine’s decision-making, and chemical, biological, nuclear, and \u2060other threats to public safety.<\/p>\n

\n

The bill is the latest AI regulation to be \u2060proposed in Congress, which has struggled to pass legislation amid debate over whether federal law should preempt state laws and whether innovation and the U.S. competition with China would be slowed by guardrails.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this month, two lawmakers in the House of Representatives released a discussion draft of broad AI legislation known as the Great American Artificial Intelligence Act, which included reporting critical safety incidents to Commerce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Moran said his more targeted approach could find a quicker path to \u2060law, and thought it would bring in bipartisan support quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“No legislation on AI has had much of a chance, but I think there’s a growing demand from the public to see some action,” said Mark Beall, president of the \u200bAI Policy Network, who supports Moran’s proposed legislation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
