A bill to require a report on the use of artificial intelligence with respect to access to unminimized information collected pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.
Key claim: S.4402 would require a report on how artificial intelligence is used to access unminimized information collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Abstract
(S4402 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-04-27): Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this matters
AI tools that query or triage unminimized FISA-collected data could magnify existing civil-liberties concerns about incidental U.S.-person collection, U.S.-person queries, and downstream use in criminal proceedings. A statutory reporting requirement would give Congress and the public a factual baseline on how automated systems intersect with Section 702 minimization procedures, informing future reauthorization debates and Fourth Amendment litigation.
