This legislation mandates annual assessments by the Secretary of Homeland Security , in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, on terrorism threats posed by terrorist organizations utilizing generative artificial intelligence applications. Congress recognizes the heightened threat landscape and the national security challenges presented by terrorists increasingly using AI, which are not yet well understood. These assessments, required annually for five years, must analyze incidents where AI was used to spread extremist messaging, facilitate radicalization, or enhance the development of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons . Each report will also include recommendations to counter these threats, with unclassified portions made publicly available online. The Secretary must brief congressional committees annually on these findings. Furthermore, the bill requires DHS to review and incorporate information from State and local fusion centers, and disseminate relevant threat intelligence back to them, fostering a collaborative approach to national security.
