This bill directs the National Academy of Sciences to establish a federal grant program focused on researching and developing safe artificial intelligence systems. The legislation requires the Academy's Director to consult with industry, government, academic institutions, and technology stakeholders to develop guiding principles for ethical AI development, then submit a detailed proposal to Congress within one year that includes a budget and funding request for the grants. The bill aims to support research on AI safety and risk reduction across all sectors to ensure that AI systems are secure, reliable, and aligned with human values. The proposal must evaluate existing AI models, identify gaps in safety research, outline an implementation timeline, and describe how grant recipients will be selected and evaluated. While the bill establishes the framework and requires a proposal with budget recommendations, it does not specify an exact funding amount, leaving the appropriation level to be determined by Congress during the budget process.
