The Secure A.I. Act of 2024 establishes processes to track and manage security and safety risks in artificial intelligence systems. The bill requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create a voluntary public database where companies, government agencies, researchers, and civil society groups can report AI-related security incidents and safety problems, with protections for confidentiality. It also directs federal agencies to update their vulnerability management systems to accommodate AI-specific threats like data poisoning and evasion attacks, and requires evaluation of whether current cybersecurity standards adequately address AI vulnerabilities. Additionally, the bill establishes an Artificial Intelligence Security Center within the National Security Agency to provide researchers and defense contractors with secure testing environments for AI security research and to develop guidance for preventing attacks on AI systems. The legislation sets various timelines ranging from 30 days to one year for agencies to complete these tasks but does not specify dedicated funding amounts.
