Not later than April 1, 2026, the Secretary of Defense shall, acting through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer and the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense, establish a task force on artificial intelligence sandbox environments (in this section referred to as the Task Force ). The Task Force shall identify, coordinate, and advance Department-wide efforts to develop and deploy virtual environments necessary to support artificial intelligence experimentation, training, familiarization, and development across the Department of Defense enterprise.
These virtual environments, known as an artificial intelligence sandbox , shall— provide capability for personnel with varied technical proficiency, from novice users to experienced practitioners; enable the building, training, evaluation, and deployment of artificial intelligence models; facilitate familiarity with and utilization of existing artificial intelligence capabilities; and accelerate the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence across the Department. The Task Force shall be co-chaired by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer and the Chief Information Officer.
The Task Force shall be composed of— the chief artificial intelligence officers of the military departments, or in the absence of such position, the individual responsible for leading artificial intelligence efforts within each military department; the chief information officers of the military departments; the chief artificial intelligence officers of the combatant commands and joint staff, or in the absence of such position, the individual responsible for leading artificial intelligence efforts within each combatant commands; the chief information officers of the combatant commands, and joint staff, or in the absence of such position, the individual responsible for leading information technology efforts within each combatant commands; the Directors for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers/Cyber
(J6)of the combatant commands, or their designees; the Director for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers/Cyber
(J6)of the Joint Staff, or their designee; and such other officials of the Department as the co-chairs of the Task Force consider appropriate. The Task Force shall— identify and consolidate common requirements with respect to artificial intelligence sandbox environments across the Department, including requirements relating to interfaces for users with varying technical expertise, computational resources and infrastructure, pre-trained models and datasets, and educational and training materials; identify, inventory, and ensure the availability of existing solutions and technical documentation, including machine-readable documents, reference architectures, and user guides; publish an analysis matching common requirements identified under paragraph
(1)with existing solutions identified under paragraph (2); utilize existing Department mechanisms to achieve efficiencies through enterprise licenses and contracts; identify and, where possible, streamline authority to operate approvals for each element of common artificial intelligence sandbox environment architectures; and publish guidance on the appropriate use of artificial intelligence sandbox environments for users at all skill levels. Not later than August 1, 2026, the co-chairs of the Task Force shall provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on the goals and objectives of the Task Force. The Task Force shall terminate on January 1, 2030. In this section: The term artificial intelligence has the meaning given such term in section 238(g) of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 ( Public Law 115–232 ; 10 U.S.C. note prec. 4061). The term artificial intelligence sandbox environment means a secure, isolated computing environment that enables users with varying levels of technical expertise to access artificial intelligence tools, models, and capabilities for the purposes of experimentation, training, testing, and development without affecting operational systems or requiring specialized technical knowledge to operate. The term authority to operate means the official management decision given by a senior organizational official to authorize operation of an information system and to explicitly accept the risk to organizational operations and assets, individuals, other organizations, and the United States based on the implementation of an agreed-upon set of security controls, as defined in Committee on National Security Systems Instruction 4009, or successor document.
