No Adversarial AI Act

This bill, called the No Adversarial AI Act, aims to keep federal agencies from using artificial intelligence tools made by foreign adversaries. It tells a federal council to create a list of AI systems made by those countries within 60 days, and it requires the Office of Management and Budget to publish that list online within 180 days. The list must be updated at least every 180 days, and companies can ask to be removed if they prove their AI is not from a foreign adversary and the council confirms it .

Agencies then have 90 days to review and, as needed, block or remove AI tools from entities on that list, using existing purchasing authorities. Exceptions are allowed, with written notice, for things like valid scientific research, training and testing, counterterrorism or counterintelligence work, or to avoid disrupting critical missions.

Key points

• Who is affected: Federal executive agencies and any AI vendors whose tools are made by foreign adversaries; researchers may receive limited exceptions.
• What changes: A public list of foreign adversary AI is created and kept up to date; agencies must act to block or remove listed AI unless an exception applies.
• When: List created within 60 days; published within 180 days; updated at least every 180 days; agencies act within 90 days.
