H.R. 10180 — Self-Improving AI Monitoring Act

This section directs the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to assess trends in the capabilities of artificial intelligence systems, including the ability to autonomously facilitate or conduct research on or development of an artificial intelligence system that might contribute to scientific breakthroughs. It also requires that any memorandum of understanding for pre-deployment evaluation of a frontier artificial intelligence system include developer disclosure of metrics or estimates on the extent to which an artificial intelligence system was used to develop it, along with an evaluation of the frontier system's own autonomous research and development capabilities.
