Responsible Artificial Intelligence for Veterans Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, within 90 days, to seek an agreement with a federally funded research and development center to independently evaluate artificial intelligence systems used or being developed for clinical care in the Veterans Health Administration. The evaluation would cover at least five systems and examine topics such as performance, bias, safety, human oversight, privacy, cost, and documentation. The center would report its findings to the Secretary and to Congress within one year, and the Secretary would then have 120 days to submit a response and corrective action plan. The Government Accountability Office would review the evaluation and plan, and the work would be paid for with existing department funds.
