AI Threat Output and Monitoring Incident Containment Act

This bill establishes the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program, requiring large AI developers to submit their systems for government testing to prevent incidents involving nuclear weapons or critical infrastructure. Under the program, the Department of Energy will conduct security assessments, including adversarial "jailbreaking" attempts and third-party reviews, to identify risks and develop safety protocols. Developers who refuse to participate or withhold necessary data face civil penalties of up to $1 million per day, while the information they provide remains confidential unless specific legal exceptions apply. Additionally, the Secretary of Energy must submit annual reports to Congress with recommendations for future legislation to further regulate AI safety and oversight.
