Mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a program to certify AI software for agricultural use based on the NIST's Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework.
Analysis summaries, actor details, and coverage mappings were LLM-classified and may contain errors.
This is a binding legislative act introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a certification program with specific requirements and regulatory authority.
The document has minimal coverage of risk domains, with limited focus on AI system safety and robustness (7.3) through accuracy and performance standards. There is implicit coverage of governance (6.5) through the establishment of a certification program. Most risk domains are not addressed as this is a narrow sectoral certification framework.
This document exclusively governs the Agriculture sector, establishing a certification program for AI software used in agricultural production tasks including autonomous vehicles, livestock care, pesticide application, and veterinary purposes.
The document primarily focuses on the Verify and Validate stage through certification requirements, and the Deploy stage through the establishment of a certification program that must be completed before deployment. It also implicitly covers Operate and Monitor through ongoing compliance with performance standards.
The document explicitly mentions 'artificial intelligence' and 'software that uses artificial intelligence' but does not define AI models, AI systems, or distinguish between different types of AI. No compute thresholds, foundation models, or specific AI architectures are mentioned. The focus is on task-specific AI applications in agriculture.
Mr. Feenstra; Mr. Valadao; Mr. Sorensen; United States Congress; House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture
The bill was introduced by Representatives Feenstra, Valadao, and Sorensen in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, indicating these are the proposing actors.
Secretary of Agriculture; U.S. Department of Agriculture
The Secretary of Agriculture is explicitly designated as the authority to establish the certification program, certify software, and prescribe necessary regulations.
Secretary of Agriculture; U.S. Department of Agriculture
The Secretary of Agriculture is implicitly responsible for monitoring compliance with certification standards, as the entity that certifies software and ensures it meets performance and regulatory standards.
The document targets developers and deployers of AI software used in agricultural production tasks. While no specific entities are named, the targets are those who create or use AI software for tasks like self-driving agricultural vehicles, manure application, pesticide application, livestock care, and veterinary purposes.
