Summary
DoD-wide operational pathway implementing the five Ethical Principles for AI (Responsible, Equitable, Traceable, Reliable, Governable; adopted Feb 24, 2020). Six foundational tenets: (1) RAI Governance — clarifies roles between OUSD(R&E), OUSD(A&S), DoD CIO, CDAO; (2) Warfighter Trust — calibrated reliance, T&E, V&V; (3) AI Product and Acquisition Lifecycle — RAI integrated into requirements, contracting, sustainment; (4) Requirements Validation — JCIDS gating; (5) Responsible AI Ecosystem — supply chain, data sourcing, vendor disclosure; (6) AI Workforce — RAI training across acquisition workforce. The S&IP is paired with a DoD RAI Toolkit (CDAO-maintained) of templates + sample contract language. Distinct from DoDD 3000.09 (Autonomy in Weapon Systems) which governs LAWS-specific decisions and was separately updated Jan 2023.
