What it does

Congressional Research Service, Jan 30, 2026

This bill requires the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to study and report to Congress on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the security of telecommunications networks.

The report must include an analysis of (1) how AI may be used to improve and increase the security of telecommunications networks, including in connection with Open Radio Access Network or virtualized security technologies; and (2) risks to telecommunications network security posed by AI. The NTIA must seek public comment on the report before finalizing it and submitting it to Congress.

  • Every bill starts at100
  • Nothing counted against it: one area of law, and short enough that length doesn't register.

Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out
