This is a binding federal statute enacted by the U.S. Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, with mandatory obligations on the Director of National Intelligence using 'shall' language throughout.
This document has minimal to no coverage of AI risk domains. It is a legislative provision focused on building research capacity at minority institutions for intelligence-related engineering and R&D, including AI. It does not address AI risks, harms, or safety concerns, but rather focuses on workforce development, research infrastructure, and institutional partnerships.
This document primarily governs the Educational Services sector (minority-serving institutions of higher education) and the National Security sector (intelligence community research and development activities). It also has coverage of Scientific Research and Development Services through its focus on intelligence-related R&D activities.
The document addresses multiple AI lifecycle stages with primary focus on Plan and Design (developing research capacity and infrastructure) and Build and Use Model (supporting AI research and development activities). It also implicitly covers Collect and Process Data through research infrastructure development, and has minimal coverage of Operate and Monitor through metrics and measurement requirements.
The document explicitly mentions artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing as key technical areas for intelligence-related research and development. It does not define or distinguish between different types of AI systems, models, or capabilities, nor does it mention compute thresholds or open-source models.
United States Congress
This is a section of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, enacted by the U.S. Congress, which has constitutional authority to legislate on national defense and intelligence matters.
congressional intelligence committees; Subcommittee on Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; Subcommittee on Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives
Congressional committees are designated as the oversight bodies receiving mandatory reports and exercising appropriations control over the implementation of this provision.
congressional intelligence committees; Subcommittee on Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate; Subcommittee on Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives; public (through website disclosure)
The same congressional committees that enforce also monitor implementation through mandatory reporting requirements. Additionally, public monitoring is enabled through the requirement to make the plan publicly available on the Director's website.
Director of National Intelligence; Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA); covered institutions (minority-serving higher education institutions); intelligence community
The document primarily targets the Director of National Intelligence with mandatory planning and reporting requirements, and secondarily targets covered institutions (minority-serving colleges and universities) as beneficiaries and participants in intelligence-related research programs.
