What US Executive Order 13960 - Promoting the Use of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in the Federal Government (2020) requires
Executive Order 13960 of December 3, 2020 directs federal agencies to design, develop, acquire, and use AI in a manner that fosters public trust and confidence while protecting privacy, civil rights, civil liberties, and American values. Section 3 establishes nine Principles for Use of AI in Government: (a) lawful and respectful of national values, (b) purposeful and performance-driven, (c) accurate, reliable, and effective, (d) safe, secure, and resilient, (e) understandable, (f) responsible and traceable, (g) regularly monitored, (h) transparent, and (i) accountable. Section 4 directs agencies to apply common policy guidance for AI implementation. Section 5 requires each agency (excluding national security systems and DoD) to prepare an inventory of its non-classified AI use cases and make it public, with annual updates. Section 6 directs OMB and OSTP, in coordination with the Federal CIO Council and the Federal Privacy Council, to issue implementing guidance. Section 7 requires the AI inventory to be shared across agencies. Section 8 excludes Department of Defense and intelligence community AI from inventory but not from the principles. The order's principles and inventory requirements remain binding federal policy and are operationalized through OMB Memoranda (M-24-10, superseded by M-25-21).
