Executive Order 13960, “Promoting the Use of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in the Federal Government,” requires agencies to prepare an inventory of non-classified and non-sensitive current and planned Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases. Agencies must share their inventories with the public and other agencies to the extent practicable. The DOC AI Center of Excellence has created an inventory of Commerce AI use cases that satisfy the executive order requirements and increase awareness of and cross-agency collaboration on AI initiatives. Below, we highlight some AI use cases and provide the complete inventory.

The executive order also outlines nine principles agencies must follow when designing, developing, acquiring, and using AI in the federal government. Trustworthy AI is the design, development, acquisition, and use of AI that fosters public trust and confidence while protecting privacy, civil rights, civil liberties, and American values, consistent with applicable laws.
