Occurrences
Evidence
Sen. Margaret Wood Hassan (D-NH) introduced S.3336, the Reliable Artificial Intelligence Research Act of 2025, on December 3, 2025. The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to run prize competitions to advance research on AI interpretability and adversarial robustness, authorizes federal funding for those competitions, and directs reporting to Congress.
Senator Hassan's official press releases list shows recent items dated May 21, May 20, and May 19, 2026 (including a May 19 release pressing for answers on a reported CISA data leak). There are no press releases or new official statements on her site dated May 24, May 25, or May 26, 2026 that announce new bipartisan national-security measures or deliverables on 'emerging threats.'
Assessments
The promise is broad, but Senator Hassan sponsored bipartisan, policy-focused legislation directly addressing an emerging national-security threat: S.3336 (Reliable Artificial Intelligence Research Act of 2025) introduced 12/03/2025, which would fund DHS prize competitions and reporting to improve AI interpretability and robustness. That constitutes concrete bipartisan work on an emerging threat during her term but the bill had not been enacted as of the available evidence and there were no recent press releases (5/24–5/26/2026) announcing a completed bipartisan national-security deliverable. Therefore the pledge is partially fulfilled (legislative effort and advancement) but not fully delivered.
