Requires the Director of the National Security Agency, acting through the Artificial Intelligence Security Center, to create an "AI Security Playbook" that lays out strategies to protect advanced AI capabilities and related assets from theft or exploitation by nation‑state and other well‑resourced actors. The Playbook must identify vulnerabilities and sensitive components, describe detection and response measures, outline government roles for highly secure development, and include both a classified technical assessment and an unclassified guidance portion. The Playbook must be completed and reported to specified congressional committees within the timeframes set by the legislation. The requirement affects federal agencies, AI researchers and developers, and private companies working on advanced AI and critical technologies by encouraging—or directing—best practices for secure development, information handling, and threat detection, and by informing oversight and potential future policy or operational actions.
Director of the National Security Agency, acting through the Artificial Intelligence Security Center (or successor office), must develop an AI Security Playbook to defend covered AI technologies from technology theft by threat actors.
The Playbook must identify potential vulnerabilities in advanced AI data centers and among advanced AI developers, focusing on cybersecurity risks and security challenges unique to protecting covered AI technologies and their critical components.
The Playbook must identify components or information that, if accessed by threat actors, would meaningfully advance those actors’ ability to develop covered AI technologies, including AI models, model components, core development insights (training, inferences, engineering), and other related information.
The Playbook must set out strategies to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats by threat actors targeting covered AI technologies.
The Playbook must identify levels of security that would require substantial involvement by the United States Government in the development or oversight of highly advanced AI systems.
