It emphasizes the need for voluntary incident reporting related to AI security and safety incidents, indicating a significant focus on ensuring secure and well-regulated AI systems. This legislation supports the development of standards and guidance, which aligns with the concept of robustness, as it aims to establish benchmarks for AI performance. Therefore, all four categories are relevant, but particularly System Integrity and Robustness are emphasized due to the focus on security and standardization.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment
Academic and Research Institutions
International Cooperation and Standards
Nonprofits and NGOs
Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified (see reasoning)
The legislation addresses the management of vulnerabilities to artificial intelligence, which can intersect with various sectors that utilize AI technologies. However, its primary concern is the technical and security aspects rather than any specific application in a standalone sector like healthcare or government services. It broadly impacts potential incidents across various sectors without focusing solely on one. Therefore, while relevant to some sectors, it does not strongly emphasize a specific sector.

Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity
Data Robustness (see reasoning)
In evaluating the relevance of the text to the predefined categories, significant occurrences of the term 'Artificial Intelligence' were identified in relation to covered sectors discussed in the amendment. The mention of AI specifically in the definition of covered sectors suggests implications in various aspects such as social impact (considering ethical and regulatory standards), data governance (especially around standardization of data used in AI), system integrity (ensuring transparency and regulation of AI systems), and robustness (related to the establishment of performance standards for AI). Each of these categories reflects different facets of how legislation concerning AI could manifest practically and socially. Given that AI is explicitly referenced in the context of covered sectors, there is clear relevance to each of the four categories, warranting higher scores for relevance levels.
Sector:
Government Agencies and Public Services
Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment
Academic and Research Institutions
International Cooperation and Standards
Hybrid, Emerging, and Unclassified (see reasoning)
The text makes specific reference to 'Artificial intelligence' as part of the covered sectors under the proposed amendment, indicating that this legislation will directly impact how AI is regulated and utilized in security contexts. While not explicitly addressing AI applications in other sectors like healthcare or politics, the classification of AI within a security-focused legislative framework suggests direct implications for governance, transparency, and potentially the methods of operation for various governmental and commercial entities interested in AI technologies. Thus, while the text does not dictate detailed practices across every sector, its implications for sectors like government agencies and public services, private enterprises, and academic institutions are relevant. Consequently, sectors such as Government Agencies and Public Services, International Cooperation and Standards, and Private Enterprises, Labor, and Employment receive moderate to high scores.

Summary: The bill aims to update and technically amend Title 51 of the U.S. Code to ensure it remains current while improving clarity and organization without altering existing laws or their interpretations.
Collection: Congressional Record
Status date: Dec. 3, 2024
Status: Issued
Source: Congress
The text does not contain any explicit references to AI or related technologies (e.g., Machine Learning, Neural Networks) that would warrant significant relevance to the provided categories. While it discusses technical amendments and the improvement of laws related to government functions, it lacks any direct connection to the social implications of AI, data governance, system integrity, or benchmarks for robustness. The text primarily focuses on revisions to federal law, which does not align with the core definitions and concerns of each category.
Sector: None (see reasoning)
The text does not engage in any specific sector concerning legislation about AI. It primarily addresses updates and organization within the United States Code rather than focusing on any of the nine defined sectors. There is no mention of the use of AI in political processes, government services, judicial systems, healthcare, or any enterprises. Consequently, it does not meet the criteria for relevance to any sector, leading to a low relevance score across all categories.
