The bill establishes definitions and a framework for artificial intelligence standards while also creating the Center for Artificial Intelligence Standards and Innovation, which modifies existing definitions by integrating new terms and entities.

  • 15 U.S.C. 9401

    The term "artificial intelligence" has the meaning given such term in section 5002 of the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020 (15 U.S.C. 9401).

    This ensures consistency in the definition of artificial intelligence across multiple statutes.

  • 42 U.S.C. 5195c(e)

    The term "critical infrastructure" has the meaning given such term in section 1016(e) of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001 (42 U.S.C. 5195c(e)).

    This aligns the definition of critical infrastructure with existing laws pertaining to national security.

  • 15 U.S.C. 3703

    The term "Federal laboratory" has the meaning given such term in section 4 of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 (15 U.S.C. 3703).

    This clarification reinforces the definition of Federal laboratory in the context of artificial intelligence standards.

  • 42 U.S.C. 15801

    The term "National Laboratory" has the meaning given such term in section 2 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 15801).

    This connects the concept of National Laboratories to legislative history specifically relating to energy policy.

  • 15 U.S.C. 278h-1

    The National Institute of Standards and Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 271 et seq.) is amended by inserting after section 22A (15 U.S.C. 278h-1) the following: "SEC. 22B. CENTER FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STANDARDS AND INNOVATION."

    This establishes a new center focused on artificial intelligence within the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
