A bill to require a report on the use of artificial intelligence with respect to access to unminimized information collected pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.

Key Points

• The bill requires the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence to jointly produce a detailed report within 120 days on every AI system that has access to raw, unfiltered surveillance data collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
• For each AI system, the report must include the system's name, purpose, who built or trained it, what data was used to train it, when it first got access to raw surveillance data, and what testing and human oversight processes are in place.
• An unclassified version of the report must be posted on the websites of the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, giving the public some visibility into how AI is being used with sensitive surveillance data.
• Going forward, before any new AI system can access raw FISA data, officials must notify Congress and the FISA courts and provide an assessment that the system complies with existing surveillance laws, court procedures, and other applicable rules.
• The bill was introduced by Sen. Schiff and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It creates a transparency and oversight framework but does not ban or restrict AI use in surveillance outright.
