; (2) evaluate the success of the program in encouraging public and private sector integration and use of artificial intelligence systems by using the metrics developed pursuant to subsection (e); and (3) submit to the appropriate committees of Congress the evaluation supported pursuant to paragraph (1) and the findings of the Under Secretary, the Secretary, and the Director with respect to the testbed program. (h) Consultation In carrying out subsection (b), the Under Secretary shall consult, as the Under Secretary considers appropriate, with the following: (1) Industry, including private artificial intelligence laboratories, companies of all sizes, and representatives from the United States financial sector. (2) Academia and institutions of higher education. (3) Civil society. (4) Third-party evaluators. (i) Establishment of foundation models test program In carrying out the program under subsection (b), the Under Secretary shall, acting through the Director of the Institute and in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, carry out a test program to provide vendors of foundation models the opportunity to voluntarily test foundation models across a range of modalities, such as models that ingest and output text, images, audio, video, software code, and mixed modalities, relative to the Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework, by— (1) conducting research and regular testing to improve and benchmark the accuracy, efficacy, and bias of foundation models; (2) conducting research to identify key capabilities, limitations, and unexpected behaviors of foundation models; (3) identifying and evaluating scenarios in which these models could pose risks; (4) establishing reference use cases for foundation models and performance criteria for assessing each use case, including accuracy, efficacy, and bias metrics; (5) enabling developers and deployers of foundation models to evaluate such systems for risks, incidents, and vulnerabilities if deployed in such use cases
