U.S. lawmaker introduces bill to require AI firms to report critical incidents

U.S. Rep. Nathaniel Moran has introduced the AI Incident Reporting Act, which would create a federal process for reporting certain serious AI incidents to the Department of Commerce. The proposal focuses on advanced AI systems and includes reports on dangerous capabilities, security breaches, and safety issues.
