new section:

SEC. ___. 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; and
(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
