# Representatives Reintroduce CISA AI Task Force Act

Representatives Troy A. Carter and Bennie G. Thompson reintroduced the CISA Securing AI Task Force Act on October 8, 2026. If enacted, the bill would give the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) one year to establish a task force that coordinates AI cybersecurity work, assesses cyber risks and workforce gaps, advises stakeholders, and briefs congressional homeland security committees twice a year. The signals identify no contract, funding, or procurement timeline, so the bill does not create a current acquisition opportunity.

- AI cybersecurity contractors can assess whether their risk-assessment, workforce, and stakeholder-advisory capabilities align with the task force’s proposed responsibilities; the signals do not specify a solicitation or vendor requirement.
- Companies should track the bill’s progress and any subsequent CISA implementation activity, since enactment could shape future agency coordination and demand in AI security.
- No funding amount, contract vehicle, or compliance mandate for contractors is identified.
