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 each other to address certain security risks from artificial intelligence. These risks include AI being stolen or used by certain foreign nations, helping build chemical, biological, nuclear, or cyber weapons, disrupting critical infrastructure, or escaping human control. Groups 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. Groups claiming the exception would have to prove they acted in good faith and only for security purposes, and the exception would not allow price-fixing, dividing markets, or sharing price information. The Attorney General could ask a court to block actions that violate antitrust laws, and notices sent to the Justice Department would be kept from public disclosure.
