A bill to require the Commander of United States Cyber Command to complete development of a roadmap for industry collaboration on artificial intelligence-enabled cyber capabilities for cyberspace operations of the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Commander of United States Cyber Command to complete a comprehensive roadmap by August 1, 2026, focusing on industry collaboration for artificial intelligence-enabled cyber capabilities within the Department of Defense. This roadmap, developed in coordination with key DoD entities like the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer and DARPA, aims to enhance both offensive and defensive cyberspace operations. The primary purpose of this framework is to foster coordination between the private sector and the Department of Defense, facilitating the integration of state-of-the-art AI. It will achieve this by convening U.S. commercial AI developers and cybersecurity experts, and by streamlining the exchange of information on AI technology for cyber operations. The roadmap must address critical elements such as managing collaborative research partnerships, defining development lines of effort, and outlining strategies for industry engagement, including contractual mechanisms and security clearance requirements. Furthermore, the roadmap will detail implementation objectives, technology transition mechanisms, infrastructure requirements, and assess organizational structure options. The Commander is also mandated to provide an initial briefing to congressional defense committees by November 1, 2026, and subsequent annual updates on collaboration activities until December 31, 2030.
