This bill mandates that the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence jointly submit a comprehensive report within 120 days of enactment. This report must detail all instances where artificial intelligence systems have access to unminimized information collected pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA). The report is to be submitted to congressional intelligence and judiciary committees, as well as the presiding judges of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, with an unclassified version made publicly available. The required report must include specific information for each AI system, such as its name, function, purpose, and the processes for its testing, evaluation, and continuous monitoring, including human review mechanisms. It also requires identification of the developing entity, a description of the training data used, and details about the AI system's access to FISA-collected information. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that before any future AI system is granted access to unminimized FISA data, the Attorney General and DNI must provide prior notification to the same entities, including an assessment of the system's compliance with FISA and related legal frameworks.
