Bipartisan House Task Force Report on Artificial Intelligence

Federal agencies have already begun leveraging AI to empower existing agency missions and streamline programs. While use cases vary in application and maturity, the benefits of responsible government use of AI are potentially transformative. However, irresponsible or improper use fosters risks to individual privacy, security, and the fair and equal treatment of all citizens by their government. Key findings include:

• The federal government should utilize core principles and avoid conflicting with existing laws.
• The federal government should be wary of algorithm-informed decision-making.
• The federal government should provide notification of AI’s role in governmental functions.
• Agencies should pay attention to the foundations of AI systems.
• Roles and associated AI knowledge and skills are unclear and highly varied across the federal workforce.
• Skills-based hiring is critical for filling the demand for AI talent in the federal workforce.
