House lawmakers want to establish a protected disclosure program for employees and contractors to ensure artificial intelligence doesn\u2019t go off the rails at the Defense Department.<\/p>\n

The House Armed Services Committee is considering legislation that would require the Defense Department to establish an incident and vulnerability reporting program for AI systems. The provision potentially sets up a landmark reporting mechanism at a time when DoD is rapidly expanding its use of AI to nearly every facet of its operations.<\/p>\n

The requirement for the AI reporting program is included in the House Armed Service\u2019s Committee\u2019s cyber, information technology and innovation subcommittee\u2019s mark-up of the fiscal 2027 defense authorization bill.<\/p>\n

It would establish a central, department-wide program for \u201creporting, tracking, analysis, and remediation of covered AI incidents and covered AI vulnerabilities arising from the development, testing, procurement, fielding, or operation of artificial intelligence systems\u201d within DoD.<\/p>\n

The goal of the program would be to identify \u201crecurring risks, failure modes, vulnerabilities, and systemic weaknesses\u201d in AI systems so they can be addressed.<\/p>\n

Under the provision, the secretary of defense would designate an official to oversee the AI incident and vulnerability reporting program.<\/p>\n

Colin Shea-Blymyer, a research fellow at Georgetown University\u2019s Center for Security and Emerging Technology, said instituting the proposed reporting program at a massive organization like DoD would be a \u201clandmark experiment\u201d as AI adoption ramps up.<\/p>\n

He said the official chosen to oversee the AI reporting program, should it become law, could have a major effect on adoption of the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis position might seem kind of pedestrian, but could potentially play a really big role in the future of AI adoption, not just in the Department of Defense, but across the…<\/p>\n
