Defense AI Reliability and Reporting Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to set up a single Department-wide program to report, track, analyze, and fix problems and weaknesses in military artificial intelligence systems. A designated official would receive reports, sort each one by whether it needs a Department-wide, program-level, or local response, and issue guidance and alerts. For the most serious problems, a written corrective action plan would be required, and fixes would have to be confirmed before the system is used again. Service members, civilian employees, and contractors could report problems in good faith without facing retaliation. The Secretary would send yearly reports to Congress from 2027 through 2031, including details on any AI incident that killed or injured a service member.
