Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Department of Defense to change its contracting rules so it cannot enter into, renew, or extend contracts for goods or services that use artificial intelligence unless the contractor first submits an "artificial intelligence functional bill of materials." This document must be machine-readable and describe the AI's models, software dependencies, security settings, access history, performance, training and other data, and the hardware and cloud systems it runs on. Contractors must be able to provide an updated version within 48 hours of a request. Within 180 days, the Department must apply existing software bill of materials rules to AI software and issue guidance on securely storing these documents, and within one year it must report to Congress on implementation and costs.
