Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence to report within 120 days on all artificial intelligence systems that have access to unminimized information collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The report must describe each AI system's name, function, testing procedures, developer, training data, when it gained access to FISA information, and any prior reporting to oversight entities. The report must be submitted to congressional intelligence committees, judiciary committees, and FISA Court judges, with an unclassified version made publicly available. The bill also requires advance notification to these entities before any future AI system gains access to FISA-collected information, including an assessment of whether the use complies with applicable laws and FISA Court procedures.
