In this section, the term use case , with respect to an artificial intelligence system, means the specific mission being performed through the use of an artificial intelligence system. Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence shall issue guidance to the heads of elements of the intelligence community to ensure consistency and accuracy in each element’s interpretation of the definition of high-impact artificial intelligence systems and high-impact artificial intelligence use cases to apply to each element’s respective missions.

Each head of an element of the intelligence community shall maintain an annual inventory of high-impact artificial intelligence use cases, including detailed information on the specific artificial intelligence systems associated with such uses. Not less frequently than once each year, each head of an element of the intelligence community shall submit to the congressional intelligence committees the inventory maintained by the head pursuant to paragraph (1). The Director of National Intelligence shall, in coordination with the heads of the elements of the intelligence community, issue guidance to ensure elements of the intelligence community utilizing high-impact artificial intelligence systems or executing high-impact artificial intelligence use cases maintain minimum standards for the following:

Whistleblower protections. Risk management practices and policies. Performance expectations to ensure high-impact artificial intelligence systems or high-impact artificial intelligence use cases are subject to policies that ensure they continue to perform as expected over time or be discontinued, including— continuous monitoring; independent testing by a reviewer or team of reviewers within the element that have not been involved in the development or procurement of such artificial intelligence system; and cost analyses, supported by a summary of direct costs associated and expected savings, if applicable, relative to existing or feasible human-led alternatives.

Pre-deployment requirements to ensure high-impact artificial intelligence systems or high-impact artificial intelligence use cases document— the advantages and risks of using such capability, to include appropriate legal and policy safeguards; the cost of operating such a capability; a schedule to ensure such capability is periodically reevaluated for efficacy and performance; and the oversight and compliance mechanisms in place for reviewing the use and output of such capability.

Policies to ensure appropriate human oversight and training.
