The AI Development Practices Act of 2024 directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create and update voluntary guidance for best practices in developing, releasing, and evaluating artificial intelligence systems. The guidance will cover how AI developers should document their training data and models, evaluate AI system performance across multiple metrics, test for security vulnerabilities, and publicly report on AI capabilities and limitations. The bill affects AI companies and developers, academic institutions, and government agencies that work with AI systems, though compliance with the guidance is voluntary rather than mandatory. NIST must collaborate with industry, government, and academic partners to develop these standards based on international best practices and must report its findings to Congress within 18 months of the bill's enactment. No specific funding amount is allocated in the legislation, as implementation depends on the availability of existing appropriations.
