``Sec. 3591. Purposes
    ``The purposes of this subchapter, with respect to the design, 
development, acquisition, use, management, and oversight of artificial 
intelligence in the Federal Government, are to ensure the following:
            ``(1) Actions that are consistent with the Constitution and 
        any other applicable law and policy, including those addressing 
        freedom of speech, privacy, civil rights, civil liberties, and 
        an open and transparent Government.
            ``(2) Any such action is purposeful and performance-driven, 
        including ensuring the following:
                    ``(A) Such action promotes the consistent and 
                systemic treatment of all individuals in a fair, just, 
                and impartial manner.
                    ``(B) The public benefits of such action 
                significantly outweigh the risks.
                    ``(C) The risks and operations of such action do 
                not unfairly and disproportionately benefit or harm an 
                individual or subgroup of the public.
                    ``(D) The risk of such action is assessed and 
                responsibly managed, including before the use of 
                artificial intelligence.
            ``(3) Any application of artificial intelligence is 
        consistent with the use cases for which the artificial 
        intelligence was trained, and the deployers of such application 
        promote verifiably accurate, ethical, reliable, and effective 
        use.
            ``(4) The safety, security, and resiliency of artificial 
        intelligence applications, including resilience when confronted 
        with any systematic vulnerability, adversarial manipulation, 
        and other malicious exploitation.
            ``(5) The purpose, operations, risks, and outcomes of 
        artificial intelligence applications are sufficiently 
        explainable and understandable, to the extent practicable, by 
        subject matter experts, users, impacted parties, and others, as 
        appropriate.
            ``(6) Such action is responsible and accountable, including 
        by ensuring the following:
                    ``(A) Human roles and responsibilities are clearly 
                defined, understood, and appropriately assigned.
                    ``(B) Artificial intelligence is used in a manner 
                consistent with the purposes described in this section 
                and the purposes for which each use of artificial 
                intelligence is intended.
                    ``(C) Such action, as well as relevant inputs and 
                outputs of artificial intelligence applications, are 
                well documented and accountable.
            ``(7) Responsible management and oversight by ensuring the 
        following:
                    ``(A) Artificial intelligence applications are 
                regularly tested against the purposes described in this 
                section.
                    ``(B) Mechanisms are maintained to supersede, 
                disengage, or deactivate applications of artificial 
                intelligence that demonstrate performance or outcomes 
                that are inconsistent with the intended use or this 
                subchapter.
                    ``(C) Engagement with impacted communities.
            ``(8) Transparency in publicly disclosing relevant 
        information regarding the use of artificial intelligence to 
        appropriate stakeholders, to the extent practicable and in 
        accordance with any applicable law and policy, including with 
        respect to the protection of privacy, civil liberties, and of 
        sensitive law enforcement, national security, trade secrets or 
        proprietary information, and other protected information.
            ``(9) Accountability for the following:
                    ``(A) Implementing and enforcing appropriate 
                safeguards necessary to comply with the purposes
