 To authorize the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program on 
   establishing data libraries for training artificial intelligence 
                    models, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Advancing American Artificial 
Intelligence Innovation Act of 2021''.

SEC. 2. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PILOT PROGRAM ON DATA LIBRARIES FOR 
              TRAINING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELS.

    (a) Pilot Program Authorized.--The Secretary of Defense, acting 
through the Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center or 
such other official as the Secretary considers appropriate, may carry 
out a pilot program to assess the feasibility and advisability of 
establishing data libraries for developing and enhancing artificial 
intelligence capabilities to ensure that the Department of Defense is 
able to procure optimal artificial intelligence and machine learning 
software capabilities to meet Department requirements and technology 
development goals.
    (b) Authorities.--In carrying out a pilot program under subsection 
(a), the Secretary may--
            (1) establish data libraries containing Department data 
        sets relevant to the development of artificial intelligence 
        software and technology; and
            (2) allow appropriate public and private sector 
        organizations to access such data libraries for the purposes of 
        developing artificial intelligence models and other technical 
        software solutions.
    (c) Elements.--If the Secretary elects to carry out the pilot 
program under subsection (a), the data libraries established under the 
program--
            (1) may include unclassified data representative of diverse 
        types of information, representing Department missions, 
        business processes, and activities;
            (2) shall be categorized and annotated to support 
        development of a common evaluation framework for artificial 
        intelligence models and other technical software solutions;
            (3) shall be made available to such public and private 
        sector organizations as the Secretary considers appropriate to 
        support rapid development of software and artificial 
        intelligence capabilities;
            (4) shall include capabilities and tool sets to detect, 
        evaluate, and correct errors in data annotation, identify gaps 
        in training data used in model development that would require 
        additional data labeling, and evaluate model performance across 
        the lifecycle of its use; and
            (5) shall be developed to support such other missions and 
        activities as the Secretary considers appropriate.
    (d) Briefing.--Not later than 270 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall provide to the congressional 
defense committees a briefing on implementing this section, including 
an identification of the types of information that the Secretary 
determines are feasible and advisable to include in the data libraries 
under subsection (b)(1).
    (e) Congressional Defense Committees Defined.--In this section, the 
term ``congressional defense committees'' has the meaning given that 
term in section 101(a) of title 10, United States Code.
                                 <all>
