Not later than 270 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Director shall identify not fewer than 5 new use cases for the application of cross-enterprise artificial intelligence-enabled systems to support modernization initiatives across agencies, including interagency or intra-agency initiatives that require linking multiple siloed internal and external data sources. The purposes of the pilot program under this section are— to enable agencies to operate cross-enterprise, coordinating between existing established programs and silos to improve delivery of the agency mission; and to demonstrate the circumstances under which artificial intelligence can be used to modernize or assist in modernizing legacy agency systems.
Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Director, in coordination with the heads of relevant agencies and other officials as the Director determines to be appropriate, shall ensure the initiation of the piloting of 5 new cross-enterprise technology use case applications that leverage commercially available technologies and systems to demonstrate scalable artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities to support the use cases identified under subsection (a).
In carrying out paragraph (2), the Director shall prioritize modernization projects that would benefit from commercially available privacy-preserving machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, such as use of differential privacy, federated learning, and secure multiparty computing. Use case modernization application areas described in paragraph
(2)shall include not fewer than 1 from each of the following categories: Applied artificial intelligence to drive agency productivity efficiencies in predictive supply chain and logistics, such as— predictive food demand and optimized supply; predictive medical supplies and equipment demand and optimized supply; or predictive logistics to accelerate disaster recovery. Applied artificial intelligence to accelerate agency investment return and address mission-oriented challenges, such as— applied artificial intelligence portfolio management for agencies; workforce development and upskilling; redundant and laborious analyses; determining compliance with Government requirements, such as with grants management; or outcomes measurement to measure economic and social benefits. Not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Director, in coordination with the heads of relevant agencies and other officials as the Director determines to be appropriate, shall establish an artificial intelligence capability that— solves data access and usability issues with automated technology and eliminate or minimize the need for manual data cleansing and harmonization efforts; continuously and automatically ingests data and updates domain models in near real-time to help identify new patterns and predict trends to help agency personnel to make better decisions and take faster actions; organizes data for meaningful data visualization and analysis so the Government has predictive transparency for situational awareness to improve use case outcomes; is rapidly configurable to support multiple applications and automatically adapts to dynamic conditions and evolving use case requirements; enables knowledge transfer and collaboration across agencies; and preserves intellectual property rights to the data and output for benefit of the Federal Government and agencies. The activities required under this section shall be an allowable use under the Technology Modernization Fund established under section 1078 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 ( 40 U.S.C. 11301 note) (in this paragraph referred to as the Fund ). The Director may prioritize the activities in this section for implementation and funding by the Fund, in which case the Director is encouraged to take steps to ensure that agencies are able to rapidly and effectively implement the pilots under this subsection, including by removing reimbursement requirements for funding from the Fund. Not earlier than 270 days but not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for 3 years, the Director shall brief the appropriate congressional committees on the activities carried out under this section and results of those activities.
