This document has minimal to no coverage of AI-specific risks. It is primarily focused on physical infrastructure deployment for alternative fuel vehicles. While it mentions technology advancements like autonomous vehicles in passing, it does not address AI risks, harms, or governance challenges described in the MIT taxonomy. The document is infrastructure-focused legislation, not AI governance.
This document primarily governs the Trade, Transportation and Utilities sector through regulation of alternative fuel infrastructure deployment. It also has implications for Public Administration (government grant recipients) and potentially impacts the Information sector through references to autonomous vehicle infrastructure and cybersecurity considerations.
This document does not substantively address AI lifecycle stages. It is focused on physical infrastructure deployment for alternative fuel vehicles. The only reference to AI-related technology is a brief mention of infrastructure being 'responsive to technology advancements, such as accommodating autonomous vehicles,' which does not constitute governance of AI development or deployment.
This document does not explicitly mention or cover AI models, AI systems, or any specific AI technical categories. It is infrastructure legislation focused on electric vehicle charging and alternative fuel infrastructure. The single reference to autonomous vehicles is in the context of physical infrastructure design considerations, not AI governance.
