In one paragraph

Subtitle B of Title LXXII of Division G of the FY2023 NDAA is the Advancing American AI Act. OMB guidance under the AI in Government Act must consider responsible-AI practices and civil rights and privacy protections (sec. 7224). For five years each agency must keep an inventory of its AI use cases, share it, and publish it where practicable (sec. 7225). OMB must identify new AI use cases and run pilot projects (sec. 7226), and the Act supports small-business engagement in agency AI work (sec. 7227). Intelligence community elements are exempt (sec. 7228). The rest of the NDAA is outside this entry.

Plain-English summary, written with AI assistance. The official text controls.

What it means for business

Federal AI use-case inventories are public, so vendors' AI products used by agencies may be disclosed; agency AI purchasing follows OMB principles.
