H.R. 6402 directs the National Academy of Sciences to create a grant program focused on developing safe and secure artificial intelligence models and research. The bill recognizes that while AI technology offers significant benefits across society, it also carries unknown risks that require urgent study into safety measures and risk reduction. Before establishing the grant program, the National Academy of Sciences must consult with industry, government, academia, and technology stakeholders to develop ethical guidelines and principles that will guide how grants are awarded and used. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the National Academy must submit a detailed proposal to Congress that includes a budget request, evaluation of existing AI safety measures, identification of research gaps, and a timeline for implementation. The legislation essentially creates a federally-supported research initiative to ensure AI development prioritizes security, reliability, and alignment with human values.
