The legislation would direct the National Security Agency (NSA) to develop an AI security playbook to protect America\u2019s advanced technology from foreign adversaries.\n\n\u201cAmerica\u2019s leadership in advanced technology depends on our ability to protect it. As our foreign adversaries race to steal and exploit cutting-edge AI systems, we must stay ahead of these threats,\u201d said Senator Young. \u201cThe Advanced AI Security Readiness Act will ensure the intelligence professionals at NSA have the tools and direction needed to safeguard U.S. innovation and preserve America\u2019s technology advantages.\u201d\n\n\u201cAI increasingly powers our defense, intelligence, critical infrastructure, scientific innovation, and much of our economy. If it\u2019s vulnerable, we\u2019re vulnerable,\u201d said Senator Kelly. \u201cThis bipartisan legislation gets the NSA prepared to spot attacks early and defend our country\u2019s AI innovation from anyone trying to exploit it. As AI evolves, we need to stay ahead of the challenges it brings to keep Americans safe.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nThe Advanced AI Security Readiness Act would direct the NSA\u2019s AI Security Center to develop an AI Security Playbook that identifies potential vulnerabilities and threats and establishes security strategies and contingency plans for America\u2019s advanced AI systems.\n\nMore specifically, the legislation would:\n\nSafeguard American AI innovation from theft or sabotage by foreign actors, maintaining our national defense and technological leadership;\n\nStrengthen our national security by developing strategies to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats from foreign adversaries; and\n\nProtect U.S. AI ecosystems by directing the NSA to proactively identify vulnerabilities within AI technologies and the AI supply chain.\n\nCompanion legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL-16), John Moolenaar (R-MI-02), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL-08), and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ-05).", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/young-kelly-introduce-legislation-to-protect-american-ai-innovation/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9224300738424063, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
