Annual Defense Bill Requires Centralized AI Risk Management

The program would include a protected disclosure process for reporting AI incidents and vulnerabilities, aiming to improve the safety, security, and operational effectiveness of AI systems. The bill also includes requirements for an Artificial Intelligence Model Rapid Deployment Framework, enabling the rapid evaluation and deployment of new AI systems.
