Secure A.I. Development Act of 2026

The Secure A.I. Development Act of 2026 establishes a new Artificial Intelligence Risk Board within the National Institute of Standards and Technology to evaluate high-risk AI models and develop security best practices for developers. Under the bill, companies releasing powerful AI models must grant the National Security Agency access to their systems before public release and register those models in a new public database. The legislation also creates a voluntary incident reporting system to track AI safety and security issues, updates national vulnerability databases to handle AI-specific threats, and launches a pilot program to share classified threat intelligence with private sector companies that work on federal AI projects.
