Congress unveils bipartisan bill to ban foreign adversarial AI in U.S. agencies
Today, Representatives John Moolenaar and Raja Krishnamoorthi introduced the No Adversarial AI Act, aiming to prohibit U.S. federal agencies from using AI developed by adversarial nations like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—unless Congress or the OMB grants exemptions. The bill would empower the Federal Acquisition Security Council to enforce technology restrictions in response to national security concerns over firms like DeepSeek.
Why it matters: This marks a significant step in Congress’s efforts to secure emerging AI technologies and shield critical government infrastructure from foreign influence.
