Cybersecurity Policy Report, House Committee Advances AI Security Legislation, (Jun 26, 2026)
Legislation that would require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop a database to catalog vulnerabilities discovered in AI (artificial intelligence) systems yesterday cleared the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee by voice vote.
The AI Flaw Reporting and Security Enhancement Act (H.R. 9333) was introduced by Reps. Deborah Ross (D., N.C.), Jeff Hurd (R., Colo.), and Don Beyer (D., Va.). It would direct NIST to develop an AI vulnerability database similar to the one NIST already maintains for software vulnerabilities, the National Vulnerability Database (CPR, June 23).
The bill was one of 10 AI bills approved by the committee.
“I’m pleased that we were able to move ten AI bills through the Committee today,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D., Calif.), the committee’s ranking member, said in a news release. “These bills are focused on the challenges and opportunities presented by the widespread adoption of AI technology. The bills passed today thoughtfully recognized and address the nuance and complexity around these issues.”
