Foreign Adversary AI Risk Assessment and Diplomacy Act

This legislation requires the Secretary of State to conduct regular assessments of the national security risks posed by foreign adversaries utilizing generative artificial intelligence for malicious purposes. These assessments, to be submitted annually to the appropriate congressional committees for three years, will analyze specific incidents and emerging trends in the use of generative AI by foreign adversaries. Each report must detail how foreign adversaries have used or attempted to use generative AI for activities such as disseminating synthetic media or propaganda , enhancing weapons of mass destruction capabilities , facilitating malicious cyber operations , or developing other military and intelligence capabilities. The assessments will also explore the implications of these trends for U.S. foreign policy and the development of international norms and standards. Furthermore, the bill mandates that these reports include concrete recommendations to mitigate and counter the identified risks to the United States and its allies. The unclassified portions of these assessments will be made publicly available on the Department of State's website, ensuring transparency while allowing for classified annexes to protect intelligence sources and methods.
