Artificial Intelligence Physical Systems Coordination Act of 2026

The Artificial Intelligence Physical Systems Coordination Act of 2026 directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create a working group of 12 to 20 experts from industry, academia, and civil society. This group will study how advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and sensors might affect the safety and security of physical systems, while developing voluntary best practices and research guidelines. The bill explicitly ensures that the group's work remains non-regulatory, protects private trade secrets, and imposes no new legal obligations on private companies. Within 540 days of enactment, the institute must publish a public report summarizing its findings and recommendations, with updates required every two years.
