By: FEDweek StaffLaws and executive orders on AI usage by federal agencies contain nearly 100 requirements that are government-wide or have government-wide implications, with 10 separate oversight bodies overseeing differing aspects, the GAO has found.
Laws include the AI in Government Act, National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act, Advancing American AI Act, AI Training Act, and Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act, while there are six executive orders currently in effect—some of which revoked prior orders—along with three sets of guidance from OMB—some of which similarly revoked prior guidance—all within the last six years, a report said.
The report toted up 94 requirements for AI management and use in those laws, orders and guidance documents.
Oversight bodies—many of them under the Executive Office of the President—include the Office of Science and Technology Policy, National Science and Technology Council, an NSTC subcommittee on machine learning and AI, two committees under the OSTP, and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development AI R&D Interagency Working Group.
Also: the GSA AI Center of Excellence, National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office, National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee, and President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
GAO noted that it has issued an “accountability framework” of its own for agencies and that it has made dozens of recommendations regarding AI to a score of agencies, including OMB.
Because the report was in the nature of an accounting, it did not make recommendations.
