Adds a rapid oversight safeguard for artificial intelligence: within 72 hours after DHS uses or extends an “other transaction” that involves AI, the Secretary must notify specified parties and offer a briefing. It also updates a dollar threshold previously set at $4,000,000 in prior law, but the new amount is not provided in the available text.
