Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Generative AI Terrorism

resent a national security threat, and the challenges 
posed by such threat are not well understood; and 
(2) the Department of Homeland Security, in 
consultation with the Office of the Director of Na-
tional Intelligence, must take steps to recognize, as-
sess, and address such threat, thereby reducing risks 
to the people of the United States.
