H.R. 7696, introduced in the 119th Congress on February 25, 2026, aims to create a grant program for National Laboratories and institutions of higher education. The program seeks to fund the development of secure artificial intelligence (AI) cyber-physical testbeds specifically designed to simulate grid-scale cyberattacks. The bill's main purpose is to enhance national cybersecurity efforts through the advancement of AI technology in combatting cyber threats, particularly focusing on critical infrastructure protection.
