The FAST Act would let the Secretary of Defense buy software and data in subscription or one-time purchase forms to support artificial intelligence systems. It would also allow the department to modify, research, develop, test, and evaluate software for those systems. The Secretary would have to issue or update rules for these purchases and provide oversight. The bill was referred to the House Armed Services Committee.
The bill concerns how the Department of Defense obtains software and data for artificial intelligence. It does not set out direct benefits or requirements for the public.
The Secretary could use amounts already appropriated or otherwise available for any purpose. The text does not state a specific amount of funding.
