Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Technologies
Abstract
This project encompasses two activities: AI Acquisition Training and RAI and AI Governance Tools. The DoD must overhaul its acquisition processes and prioritize technical and acquisition training as highlighted in the National Defense Strategy for 2018, the 2018 DoD Artificial Intelligence Strategy, and the 2021 NSCAI Final Report. This funding will provide the basis of the training platform -Digital DNA Pilot Program- in partnership with OUSD(A&S). It is also incumbent on the Department to ensure all its AI-enabled systems will be safe and adhere to ethical standards and that they are used in a manner that contributes to the efficiency, effectiveness, and legitimacy of the Department’s AI capabilities. This requirement funds activities to develop, procure and maintain the necessary commercial and DoD-customized tools to put the DoD AI Ethical Principles into practice across the entire AI product lifecycle. RAI leaders across the Department are going to need access to tools that support the capability development process, including in areas of explainability of models, bias detection, and other areas necessary for RAI. This requirement provides for the integration of commercially available tools to include an Explainable AI tool, Synthetic Data & Anonymization tool, Data Management and Traceability tool, Continuous Integration/ Continual Delivery tool, Auto-Machine Learning tool, Bias Mitigation tool, and the Interference Time tool into the developer’s workflow to operationalize the DoD AI Ethics Principles. By doing so, these tools will not only provide technical assessments through the project lifecycle, but also allow for traceability and reliability to ensure safe and ethical systems from design to development and deployment to use. This requirement also funds the development of DoD-customized assessments and tools that RAI leads will use across the AI product and acquisition lifecycles.
