To expedite the development of artificial intelligence systems in the United States, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy shall, acting through the National Science and Technology Council and the Interagency Committee established or designated pursuant to section 5103 of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 ( 15 U.S.C. 9413 ), develop a list of priorities for Federal investment in creating or improving curated, publicly available Federal Government data for training and evaluating artificial intelligence systems. The list developed pursuant to paragraph
(1)shall— prioritize data that will advance novel artificial intelligence systems in the public interest; and prioritize datasets unlikely to independently receive sufficient private sector support to enable their creation, absent Federal funding. In carrying out subparagraph (A)(ii), the Director shall identify 20 datasets to be prioritized. In developing the list under paragraph (1), the Director shall consider the following: Applicability to the initial list of societal, national, and geostrategic challenges set forth by subsection
(b)of section 10387 of the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act ( 42 U.S.C. 19107 ), or any successor list. Applicability to the initial list of key technology focus areas set forth by subsection
(c)of such section, or any successor list. Applicability to other major United States economic sectors, such as agriculture, health care, transportation, manufacturing, communications, weather services, and positive utility to small and medium United States businesses. Opportunities to improve datasets in effect before the date of the enactment of this Act. Inclusion of data representative of the entire population of the United States. Potential national security threats to releasing datasets, consistent with the United States Government approach to data flows. Requirements of laws in effect. Applicability to the priorities listed in the National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan of the National Science and Technology Council, dated October 2016. Ability to use data already made available to the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Pilot program or any successor program. Before finalizing the list required by paragraph (1), the Director shall implement public comment procedures for receiving input and comment from private industry, academia, civil society, and other relevant stakeholders. The head of each agency with a representative included in the Interagency Committee pursuant to section 5103(c) of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 ( 15 U.S.C. 9413(c) ) or the heads of multiple agencies with a representative included in the Interagency Committee working cooperatively, consistent with the missions or responsibilities of each Executive agency— subject to the availability of appropriations, shall award grants or otherwise establish incentives, through new or existing programs, for the creation or improvement of curated datasets identified in the list developed pursuant to subsection (a)(1), including methods for addressing data scarcity; may establish or leverage existing initiatives, including public-private partnerships, to encourage private sector cost-sharing in the creation or improvement of such datasets; may apply the priorities set forth in the list developed pursuant to subsection (a)(1) to the enactment of Federal public access and open government data policies; in carrying out this subsection, shall ensure consistency with Federal provisions of law relating to privacy, including the technology and privacy standards applied to the National Secure Data Service under section 10375(f) of the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act ( 42 U.S.C. 19085(f) ); and in carrying out this subsection, shall ensure data sharing is limited with any country that the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Director of National Intelligence, determines to be engaged in conduct that is detrimental to the national security or foreign policy of the United States. Datasets that are created or improved by Federal agencies may be made available to the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource pilot program established by the Director of the National Science Foundation in accordance with Executive Order 14110 (88 Fed. Reg. 75191; relating to safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence), or any successor program. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the Federal Government or other contributors to disclose any information— relating to a trade secret or other protected intellectual property right; that is confidential business information; or that is privileged.
