    (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment

within the Agency a Task Force comprised of personnel from across its 
offices and divisions to coordinate the execution of directives 
pursuant to Executive Order 14110, or a subsequent Executive order, 
future Agency activities related to the safety and security of

        adoption, and deployment of artificial intelligence;
            (2) ensure coordination, cohesion, and alignment of Agency 
        input into Department-led, interagency, and nongovernment 
        working groups or collaborations related to artificial 
        intelligence;
            (3) assess and evaluate relevant Agency safety and security 
        initiatives, guidance, and programs to ensure the unique safety 
        and security challenges related to artificial intelligence are 
        contemplated and addressed and recommend updates to such 
        initiatives, guidance, and programs, as appropriate;
            (4) ensure the full expertise from across the Agency is 
        leveraged to identify how artificial intelligence can be used 
        to defend against traditional and emerging cyber threats;
            (5) ensure coordination of Agency efforts to advise 
        stakeholders of potential cyber risks associated with the 
        deployment of artificial intelligence-based software;
            (6) identify artificial intelligence workforce gaps at the 
        Agency and ways to address them;
            (7) coordinate the Agency's efforts to promote the adoption 
        of secure artificial intelligence-based software;
            (8) recommend to the Director new Agency initiatives to 
        improve the safe and secure design, development, adoption, and 
        deployment of artificial intelligence;
            (9) ensure the Agency's efforts related to artificial 
        intelligence meet appropriate privacy, civil rights, and civil 
        liberties standards; and
            (10) support the publication of the Agency's artificial 
        intelligence use inventory, including developing processes to 
        ensure the accuracy of artificial intelligence inventory 
        submissions and the reliability of data used in artificial 
        intelligence systems used by the Agency.
    (b) Biannual Briefings.--Not later than 6 months after the date of 
the establishment of the Task Force under subsection (a), and every 6 
months thereafter until such time as this Act ceases to be in effect in 
accordance with subsection (c), the Task Force shall report to the
