James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, Section 11227 ("Review of artificial intelligence applications and establishment of performance metrics")

This is a binding statutory provision enacted by the U.S. Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, creating mandatory obligations for the Coast Guard Commandant with specific deadlines and reporting requirements to Congress.

This document has minimal to no coverage of AI risk domains. It is a procedural directive focused on reviewing AI applications, identifying resource needs, and establishing performance metrics for Coast Guard AI integration. It does not address specific AI risks, harms, or mitigation measures.

This document primarily governs the National Security sector, specifically directing the U.S. Coast Guard to review and integrate AI into its operations. It also has minimal coverage of Public Administration as it involves government agency operations and Congressional oversight.

The document covers multiple AI lifecycle stages with primary focus on Plan and Design (reviewing potential applications and establishing objectives), Build and Use Model (assessing AI innovation and R&D investment), and Deploy (integration into platforms and operations). It also addresses Operate and Monitor through performance metrics establishment.

The document explicitly mentions 'artificial intelligence' and 'digital technology' throughout but does not define these terms or distinguish between AI models, AI systems, or specific AI types. It focuses on AI applications broadly without specifying technical categories like frontier AI, general purpose AI, foundation models, or compute thresholds.
