Bipartisan Bill Introduced to Combat Rogue AI Agents and Enhance Network Security

U.S. Congressmen Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) and Mike Lawler (NY-17) introduced the bipartisan Stop Rogue AI Act. This legislation aims to ensure businesses and federal agencies can detect and stop dangerous AI agents operating within their networks. The bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop national standards for discovering, verifying, and controlling AI agents, and requires federal contractors and agencies to integrate these safeguards.
