PROACTIV Artificial Intelligence Data Act of 2025

The PROACTIV Artificial Intelligence Data Act of 2025 requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a voluntary framework within one year for AI developers and data collectors to detect, remove, and report child pornography in datasets used to train artificial intelligence systems. This framework, created with input from law enforcement, nonprofits, and industry stakeholders, will provide specific guidelines for handling such content in AI training data. The bill also grants limited liability protection to AI developers and data collectors who follow the framework, though this protection does not apply if they acted intentionally, recklessly, or negligently, or violated existing child pornography laws. The law explicitly excludes AI deployers (who integrate AI into products) and end users from these requirements.
