Collaboration on Adversarial Threats and Security Risks Act

This bill would create an exception to federal antitrust laws for private companies and other non-federal groups that share information or help with each other to address certain security risks from advanced artificial intelligence. These risks include AI being stolen or used by certain foreign nations, helping make chemical, biological, nuclear, or cyber weapons, disrupting critical infrastructure, or escaping human control. Companies could also agree to delay or limit the release or development of AI to reduce these risks, but only after giving written notice to the Justice Department's antitrust division. The exception would not cover price-fixing, dividing markets, monopolizing, boycotts, or sharing price or cost information, and companies claiming it would have to prove they acted in good faith. Notices sent to the Justice Department would be kept from public release, and the Attorney General could ask a court to block actions that violate antitrust laws.
