This bill requires the Department of Defense to establish a new contracting requirement for any AI systems it purchases or develops. Contractors must submit a detailed "artificial intelligence functional bill of materials" before receiving a contract and maintain it for quick updates within 48 hours of DOD requests. These bills of materials must document the AI software (including all models and dependencies), data sources (including training data and where it's stored), and hardware infrastructure the system uses, in a machine-readable format that allows DOD to quickly assess vulnerabilities and security risks. The Secretary of Defense has 180 days to update federal acquisition regulations and 180 days to issue cybersecurity guidance on storing these documents, with a full implementation report due within one year. This measure aims to give the DOD complete visibility into the components and supply chain of artificial intelligence systems it relies on for national defense purposes.
