Section 2 – Policy: accelerate the development and use of AI for national security applications using the framework:
-
- Adoption – shall be accelerated by identifying mission areas where AI can be most effective, then eliminating unnecessary barriers to rapid deployment [let’s do another ‘warp speed’ process without taking into account the long-term repercussions of what we’re doing]
- Adaptation – shall start with commercial or open-source AI tech, then internally customize or develop AI tech internally
- Assurance – adopted AI tech is to be reliable, robust, steerable, and controllable operating IAW government policies and guidance. In addition, ensure no commercial entity or adversary can disable, degrade, or modify US AI tech without express Federal government knowledge and approval [good luck with that, we’re still having to continually update our personal computers against malware, trojans, viruses, and the like – at our own expense – and individuals are nowhere near the target that a Federal-government-wide AI tech solution would be!]
- Accountability – AI tech shall not be used to censor free speech, embed ideological bias or conduct unauthorized or unlawful surveillance activities [and how many times has our government violated these things?]
Section 3 – Updates Policies and Guidance:
-
- within 90 days an update to DOD Direction 3000.09 on Autonomy in Weapons system will be issued and reviewed annually due to the rapidly evolving capabilities of AI systems
- terminate contracts with companies that have demonstrated a pattern of conduct that is inconsistent with the policies laid out in Section 2 of this memorandum
- within 90 days issue an appropriate policy for governance of AI use in national security systems to include implementation and reporting requirements
- within 90 days issue a classified annex addressing sensitive national security issues
- update all relevant policies and guidance to be consistent with this memorandum

Section 4 – Advancing National Security Capabilities:
-
- within 120 days a full review and update of procurement processes will be done to ensure the rapid onboarding of the most advanced AI models from multiple vendors
- within 90 days develop a roadmap to ensure all elements of national security have adequate access to advanced computing resources
- within 120 days develop partnerships with willing private-sector companies to help secure America’s most cutting-edge AI technologies
- develop capabilities for applying AI to national security missions
- prioritize collection and analysis of foreign AI technologies that pose a threat to US national security, economic security, and strategic competitiveness
- within 120 days initiate joint AI data and model exchanges for mission applications common to the national security enterprise
Section 5 – Building capacity for AI Adoption: Within 120 days of the date of this order
-
- accelerate hiring of technical AI talent into the Federal government;
- initiate efforts to establish an AI National Security Stretegic Reserve of non-governmental AI talent to provide support to Federal efforts to address AI national security issues as needed;
- develop and implement an AI for National Security Curriculum to ensure relevant personnel are trained to employ AIO systems IAW applicable guidance and maintain literacy on the current AI frontier including capabilities, limitations, and implications for national security;
- prioritize R&D of technology that enable AI reliability, robustness, steerability, and controllability in fulfillment of mission requirements, including constitutional protections while also developing capabilities and best practices to maintain the leadership of the national security enterprise;
- ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of America’s most critical AI systems; and
- submit standardized AI national security Test, Evaluation, Verification, and Validation methodologies.
Section 6 – Definitions: for the terms Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI incident response, AI security, AI technology stack, Chain of Command, Controllability, Intelligence Community, National Security Enterprise, Reliability, Robustness, and Steerability.
The accompanying Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Signs Historic Directive on AI in the National Security Enterprise sees this memorandum as security the best in AI to protect US Service Members as well as American Values while making the US dominance in the AI market.
