AI for Secure Networks Act

Key Points

• Congress is considering a bill that would require the Department of Commerce to study how artificial intelligence can be used to make our phone and internet networks safer and more reliable.
• The study will look at how AI can help find computer viruses in real-time, make networks more energy-efficient, and help different types of communication systems work better together.
• Experts will also investigate the potential risks that AI might pose to our communication systems to prevent hackers or foreign actors from using the technology to cause harm.
• The government must talk to the Federal Communications Commission and private tech companies to get their input, and the public will have a chance to comment on the findings before they are finalized.
• A final report with suggestions for new laws must be sent to Congress within one year of the bill being signed into law.
