AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require any entity that develops or operates an advanced artificial intelligence system in the United States to make sure the system includes a technical way for a human operator to shut it down. It uses the definition of artificial intelligence from an existing federal law, the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020. Within 90 days after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Homeland Security, working with other relevant federal agencies, would have to issue regulations to ensure entities follow this requirement.
