Generative AI Terrorism Risk Assessment Act

The Generative AI Terrorism Risk Assessment Act would require the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to conduct annual assessments for five years on terrorism threats posed by the use of generative artificial intelligence, including its use to spread extremist messaging and develop weapons of mass destruction. These assessments must be submitted to specific congressional committees, include unclassified summaries posted publicly on the DHS website, and be followed by briefings to Congress within 30 days. The bill also mandates information sharing between federal agencies and State and major urban area fusion centers to enhance national analysis and coordination on AI-related terrorism risks.
