Congress finds that— the Department has a leading role to play in making the most of the potential of artificial intelligence to advance the missions of the Department relating to national security, science, and energy (including critical materials); the 17 National Laboratories employ over 40,000 scientists, engineers, and researchers with decades of experience developing world-leading advanced computational algorithms, computer science research, experimentation, and applications in machine learning that underlie artificial intelligence; the NNSA manages the Stockpile Stewardship Program established under section 4201 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act ( 50 U.S.C. 2521 ), which includes the Advanced Simulation and Computing program, that provides critical classified and unclassified computing capabilities to sustain the nuclear stockpile of the United States; for decades, the Department has led the world in the design, construction, and operation of the preeminent high-performance computing systems of the United States, which benefit the scientific and economic competitiveness of the United States across many sectors, including energy, critical materials, biotechnology, and national security; across the network of 34 user facilities of the Department, scientists generate tremendous volumes of high-quality open data across diverse research areas, while the NNSA has always generated the foremost datasets in the world on nuclear deterrence and strategic weapons; the unrivaled quantity and quality of open and classified scientific datasets of the Department is a unique asset to rapidly develop frontier AI models; the Department already develops cutting-edge AI models to execute the broad mission of the Department, including AI models of the Department that are used to forecast disease transmission for COVID–19, and address critical material issues and emerging nuclear security missions; the AI capabilities of the Department will underpin and jumpstart a dedicated, focused, and centralized AI program; and under section 4.1(b) of Executive Order 14110 (88 Fed.
