This document has minimal coverage of AI risk domains. It briefly mentions AI and machine learning applications in critical minerals mining (subdomain 7.3), but does not address the risks associated with these technologies. The document is primarily focused on critical minerals supply chain research and development, not AI governance or risk mitigation.
This document primarily governs AI research and development activities in the Agriculture, Mining, Construction and Manufacturing sector (specifically mining and mineral processing) and the Scientific Research and Development Services sector. It also has implications for the Information sector through data processing requirements for AI applications.
The document primarily addresses the Plan and Design stage by authorizing research into AI applications for critical minerals mining. It also touches on Build and Use Model through references to examining AI and machine learning applications, though without detailed governance measures for model development or deployment.
The document mentions AI and machine learning in the context of research applications for critical minerals mining. It does not define these terms or specify particular types of AI systems, models, or technical thresholds. The references are limited to examining potential applications rather than governing existing AI systems.
