Implications of federal policy on AI use in the federal statistical system

Chris Marcum from The Office of the Chief Statistician will present insights on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the Federal statistical system in light of President Biden's recent executive order emphasizing secure and trustworthy AI development. This order extends across various sectors, emphasizing responsible AI entry not only within the government but also in broader societal contexts. Key aspects include establishing clear definitions for AI and AI models, aligning with Title 3 of The Evidence Act of 2018 and OMB's regulations for secure access to confidential statistical data. The executive order emphasizes lawful and secure data collection, usage, and retention, addressing privacy and confidentiality concerns within the federal system. Additionally, it guides agencies in advancing privacy-enhancing technologies to safeguard American data against risks, aligning with OMB responsibilities. The order also addresses how federal agencies obtain, quality control, and utilize commercially available information, directing OMB to consult with the Federal Privacy Council and the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy to guide agencies in mitigating privacy and confidentiality risks associated with such information.
