Stop Rogue AI Act

This bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), working with the Commerce Department's communications office, to create and update each year standards and best practices for securely building, deploying, and running AI agents, which are software systems that act on their own on behalf of a person or organization. The standards would cover keeping an inventory of AI agents, verifying their identity, monitoring their activity, and keeping tamper-evident logs of their actions. The bill also requires federal rule-makers to propose changes to federal purchasing rules so that agencies and contractors using AI agents follow these standards. The White House budget office would issue guidance to federal agencies on carrying out these requirements. Contracts signed before the law takes effect would not be covered.
