It is the sense of Congress that— artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies must be incorporated into the intelligence community at a pace that matches industry and is competitive with United States adversaries; while collaboration can and does occur in instances, Congress is concerned that the United States is not integrated enough across disciplines to further this essential mission; and while each intelligence community element is pursuing artificial intelligence adoption by either establishing new offices or surging resources to existing offices, there is not a single office or official at each intelligence community element that has the authority to oversee artificial intelligence adoption at the agency, and can serve as the coordinator for interagency cooperation.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence, in coordination with the heads of the elements of the intelligence community, shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees a report on the efforts of the intelligence community to develop, acquire, adopt, and maintain artificial intelligence across the intelligence community to improve intelligence collection across the collection spectrum and optimize internal work flows.
Such report shall contain a separate review of each such element that includes, with respect to the element, the following: A description of the authorities of the element relating to the use of artificial intelligence, and whether the element lacks any resources or authorities necessary to accelerate the adoption by the element of artificial intelligence solutions, including commercial products involving artificial intelligence. A description of the organizational roles, responsibilities, and authorities for any senior officials of the element charged with accelerating the adoption by the element of artificial intelligence solutions, and whether the head of the element lacks any resources or authorities to hire the personnel necessary to so accelerate the adoption.
An identification of the senior official of the element responsible for overseeing and coordinating efforts relating to artificial intelligence across the intelligence community, including through the integration of the acquisition, technology, human capital, and financial management aspects necessary for the adoption of artificial intelligence solutions. An assessment, conducted by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, of the efforts of the head of the element to acquire and adopt commercial products involving artificial intelligence and in particular, the efforts of such head to acquire and adopt such products in a timely manner.
An assessment, conducted by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, of any administrative or technical barriers to the accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence by the element, including any such barriers to the efforts specified in paragraph (4). Such assessment shall be disaggregated by, and include input from, organizational units of the element that focus on the following: Acquisitions and contracting. Personnel and workforce matters. Financial management and budgeting.
Operations and capabilities. An assessment, conducted by the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, of the efforts of the head of the element to coordinate across the intelligence community for the purpose of ensuring the adoption of best practices, sharing of information, and efficient use of resources relating to artificial intelligence, including an identification by such head of any administrative or technical barriers to such coordination, and recommendations for improving such coordination.
With respect to the review of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, such assessment shall also include a specific assessment of how the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Director of Science and Technology and the Chief Data Officer, oversees, or plans to oversee, such coordination. Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for 3 years, the Director of Science and Technology, in coordination with the Chief Data Officer with respect to the matters specified in paragraph (3), and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and the heads of the elements of the intelligence community, shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees a report on the progress of the adoption of artificial intelligence within the intelligence community.
Each report under paragraph
(1)shall include, with respect to the year covered by the report, the following: A detailed description of the progress of each element of the intelligence community in the adoption and maintenance of artificial intelligence during such year, including a description of any— artificial intelligence programs or systems adopted or decommissioned by the element; contracts entered into by the head of the element with small- or medium-sized emerging technology companies for commercial products involving artificial intelligence; efforts carried out by the head of the element for coordination across the intelligence community on artificial intelligence-related matters; and relevant positions established or filled within the element. A description of any policies of the intelligence community issued during such year that relate to the adoption of artificial intelligence within the intelligence community, including an assessment of the compliance with such policies by the elements of the intelligence community. A list of recommendations by the Director of Science and Technology for the efficient, accelerated, and comprehensive adoption of artificial intelligence across the intelligence community during the year following the year covered by the report, including any technological advances in artificial intelligence that the intelligence community should leverage from industry actors. An overview of the advances of foreign adversaries in the field of artificial intelligence, and steps that may be taken to ensure the United States Government outpaces foreign adversaries in such field. Any gaps in resource or authorities, or other administrative or technical barriers, to the adoption of artificial intelligence by the intelligence community. Such other matters as the Director of Science and Technology may determine appropriate. Each report under paragraph
(1)shall include an entry by the Chief Data Officer that addresses each of the matters specified in paragraph
