S 2938 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act of 2025

This bill creates a federal program requiring developers of powerful AI systems (defined as those using over 10²⁶ computing operations) to participate in mandatory testing. The Department of Energy will evaluate these systems for risks like loss-of-control scenarios, weaponization threats, or harm to civil liberties, collecting data on safety and behavior. Developers must share code, training data, and technical details with the program and face $1 million daily fines for non-compliance. The program runs for seven years, producing annual reports and a final oversight plan for Congress to inform future regulations on advanced AI.
