AI Provisions Slated for NDAA Negotiations
Summary
Lawmakers in the House and Senate continue to work to advance their own narrow AI priorities, including via their respective versions of the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Senate bill includes a range of AI provisions, including language requiring notification to the United States Department of the Treasury of a range of transactions in countries of concern related to “covered sectors,” which broadly include AI. The House version would, among other things, direct the United States Department of Defense to develop and implement a process to assess whether its AI technology is functioning responsibly and establish a Department-wide classification framework for autonomous capabilities. Lawmakers will now kick off bicameral negotiations over a compromise version of the bill. Akin’s summary of the provisions under consideration is available here.
