Requires the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy to establish a Federal regulatory sandbox program for AI, allowing applicants to test AI innovations by obtaining temporary waivers or modifications on specific legal provisions.
Minimal coverage — Brief mention but no specific mitigations, recommendations or governance measures relating to the risk subdomain are described.
All other risk subdomains had no coverage in this document.
Risk Coverage Summary
The document has minimal coverage of risk domains, with brief mentions of approximately 3-4 subdomains. The primary focus is on establishing a regulatory sandbox program rather than addressing specific AI risks. Coverage includes minimal references to security vulnerabilities (2.2), misinformation (3.1), and governance structures (6.5), though these are addressed primarily through procedural mechanisms rather than substantive risk mitigation measures.
Minimal coverage — Brief mention but no specific mitigations, recommendations or governance measures relating to the sector are described.
All other sectors had no coverage in this document.
Sectors Summary
This regulatory sandbox program is cross-sectoral and applies to AI innovation across all economic sectors. The document does not restrict participation to specific industries, making it applicable to any sector where AI products, services, or development methods are subject to federal regulations that could be temporarily waived or modified.
