This bill updates the federal government's Chief Data Officer Council, which coordinates how agencies manage and govern their data, and extends the council's authorization by seven years. It expands the council's mission to specifically address the growing use of artificial intelligence, requiring it to develop recommendations on data governance, data sharing, and best practices for training and testing AI systems safely and responsibly. The bill also adds new members to the council, including representatives from Chief Artificial Intelligence Officers and Chief Privacy Officers, and requires several reports to Congress, including a one-year deadline for recommendations on AI data practices, a 270-day deadline for a report clarifying Chief Data Officer roles, and biennial evaluations by the Government Accountability Office on the council's effectiveness. It primarily affects federal agencies and their data management and technology officials rather than the general public directly, though improved data practices could enhance government services and transparency over time. No additional funding is authorized to implement these changes, meaning agencies must carry out the new requirements using existing resources.
