Instructs the Director of National Intelligence to develop a plan with other heads of the intelligence community regarding the development of a modern digital ecosystem for artificial intelligence; details the minimum requirements of the plan.
Instructs the Director of National Intelligence to develop a plan with other heads of the intelligence community for a modern digital ecosystem that enables the development and progress of artificial intelligence applications and present it to Congress within one year of the enactment of the Act.
Requires that the plan include policies to allow flexible access to classified facilities to select companies, establishes a system to allow for investments into the ecosystem that would address technical issues including but not limited to common interfaces, authentication, and software, and includes policies to prevent duplication of AI capabilities within the intelligence community.
Requires that the plan establish a governance structure to standardize implementation throughout the intelligence community and adheres to community and federal standards.

SEC. 834. PLAN FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM.
(a) Plan.--Not later than 1 year
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National
Intelligence shall coordinate with the heads of other elements of the
intelligence community and, in conjunction with the heads of those
elements, shall--
(1) develop a plan for the development and resourcing of a
modern digital ecosystem that embraces state-of-the-art tools
and modern processes to enable development, testing, fielding,
and continuous updating of artificial intelligence-powered
applications at speed and scale from headquarters to the
tactical edge; and
(2) submit to the congressional intelligence committees the
plan developed under paragraph (1).
Requires the Director to develop and submit an AI digital ecosystem plan within one year.
Requires the Director to develop and submit an AI digital ecosystem plan within one year.
(b) Contents of Plan.--At a minimum, the plan required by subsection
(a) shall include the following:
(1) Policies to enable elements of the intelligence
community to adopt a hoteling model to allow trusted small- and
medium-sized artificial intelligence companies access to
classified facilities on a flexible basis.
(2) Policies for an open architecture and an evolving
reference design and guidance for needed technical investments
in the proposed ecosystem that address issues, including common
interfaces, authentication, applications, platforms, software,
hardware, and data infrastructure.
(3) Policies to ensure, to the extent possible,
interoperability, and the reduction of duplication, of
artificial intelligence capabilities developed or acquired by
elements of the intelligence community.
(4) A governance structure,
together with associated policies and guidance, to drive the
implementation of the reference throughout the intelligence
community on a federated basis.
(5) Community standards for the use of artificial
intelligence and associated data, as appropriate.
(6) Recommendations to ensure
that use of artificial intelligence and associated data by the
Federal Government related to United States persons comport with
rights relating to freedom of expression, equal protection,
privacy, and due process.
(c) Form.--The plan submitted under subsection (a)(2) shall be
submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex.
Includes policies for AI access, open architecture, interoperability, governance, standards, and rights protection.
