The order provides guidance on standards for artificial intelligence (AI) safety and security. It supplements a number of related U.S. government policy documents, including the Department of State Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use ofArtificial Intelligence and Autonomy and the National Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk Management Framework. This Insight discusses the potential implications of the order for national security, and specifically the Department of Defense (DOD). A broader overview of the order is provided in CRS Report R47843, Highlights of the 2023 Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence for Congress, by Laurie A. Harris and Chris Jaikaran. Potential Implications for the Department of Defense DOD senior leaders have expressed commitment to the safe and secure development of AI for military and national defense purposes. In February 2020, DOD adopted five Ethical AI Principles to guide the department's development of AL. DOD's June 2022 Responsible Artificial Intelligence Strategy and Implementation Pathway affirmed these principles. E.O. 14110 directs DOD to undertake a number of additional activities intended to enhance national security while managing potential risk. For example: Section 4.2 directs the Secretary of Commerce-in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretaries of Defense, State, and Energy-to define, and thereafter update as needed on a regular basis, the technical conditions for models and computing clusters subject to the reporting requirements for potential dual-use foundation models. (The E.O. defines a dual-use foundation model as an AI model that is trained on broad data and could be easily modified to exhibit high levels of performance at tasks that pose a serious risk to security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters, among other attributes.) Section 4.3 directs the Secretary of Defense-in consultation with the heads of other relevant agencies-to execute and report on an operational pilot project to identify, develop, test, evaluate, and deploy AI capabilities ... to aid in the discovery and Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN12286 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
