H.R. 9363, the AI Security and Innovation Act, advanced out of committee on June 25, 2026.
H.R. 9363 — AI Security and Innovation Act
What it does
This bill creates a new Center for AI Security and Innovation within the National Institute of Standards and Technology to evaluate risks from artificial intelligence systems, develop voluntary security standards, and assess how U.S. AI capabilities compare to foreign adversaries. The Center will work with AI developers to test frontier AI systems for security vulnerabilities and national security threats, but has no regulatory or enforcement power—it is purely advisory and research-focused.
Quorum's transparency scan gave AI Security and Innovation Act a moderate transparency flag.
