AI Threat Output and Monitoring Incident Containment Act
To direct the National Nuclear Security Administration through the Secretary of Energy to establish the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9965, aims to establish a new program called the Advanced Artificial Intelligence Nuclear Evaluation Program, overseen by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) through the Department of Energy. The goal is to monitor and contain incidents related to AI threats that could affect nuclear security.
The bill would impact the NNSA and potentially entities involved in AI research and development that relate to nuclear security. By creating this program, the bill seeks to enhance the ability to identify, evaluate, and mitigate AI-related threats to national security.
As of July 27, 2026, the bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. This is the first step in the legislative process, and further action will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
