Warner, Moran Introduce Bill to Codify NIST AI Guidelines for Agencies

Bipartisan legislation introduced Thursday would require federal agencies to incorporate the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI risk management framework into their AI-related operations. Introduced by Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., the Federal Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act would establish guidelines for how the federal government uses AI technology. Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., will introduce companion legislation in the House. Agencies aren’t currently required to use the framework to manage AI systems.
