About this file

This is an Artificial Intelligence disclosure attachment for a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) solicitation (No. 601440000051929) that establishes mandatory requirements for vendors providing technology solutions and/or services. Vendors must provide detailed explanations of all artificial intelligence—whether proprietary or publicly available—that may be used in contract performance. The required disclosure includes specific actions and outputs generated by the AI, descriptions of its functionality including recommendations and decisions, an overview of how the AI is utilized within the solution, clarification on whether AI is optional or mandatory, and information regarding Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) involvement where human decision-makers work in tandem with AI systems to evaluate and approve or reject AI-generated recommendations.

Vendors must also disclose the types and classification of data utilized by AI systems, details on data handling including whether it is transferred outside TxDOT or used to train AI models, mitigation measures for biases and hallucinations, reliability assessments of deployed algorithms and models, and strategies for handling unexpected inputs and edge cases. During contract performance, vendors must provide a minimum of 45 days' advance notice to TxDOT prior to implementing any new AI functionality or changes to existing AI functionality to ensure compliance with TxDOT's Acceptable Artificial Intelligence policy. TxDOT reserves the right to cancel the contract without penalty if any AI functionality fails to comply with its established policy. The attachment provides specific definitions for Artificial Intelligence, AI Systems, Information Resources Technologies, and Human-in-the-Loop decision-making as referenced in Texas Government Code, Chapter 2054.003.

Artificial Intelligence – Attachment A Solicitation No. 601440000051929

1. Artificial Intelligence: Vendor must provide a detailed explanation of all Artificial Intelligence (AI), whether proprietary or publicly available, that may be used in the delivery of technology solutions and/or services. This explanation must include, but is not limited to, the following:

1.1. The specific actions and outputs generated by the AI (decisions/output).

1.2. A description of what the AI functionality recommends, decides, documents, reports, or affects when deployed.

1.3. An overview of how the AI functionality is utilized within the solution.

1.4. Clarification on whether the AI functionality is optional or mandatory.

1.5. Information on the presence of Human-in-the-loop (HITL) involvement.

1.6. The types of data being utilized by the AI.

1.7. The classification and categorization of the data being used.

1.8. Details on the handling of data, including if it is being transferred outside of TxDOT, used to train an AI model, etc.

1.9. Measures taken to mitigate biases and hallucinations within the AI model.

1.10. An assessment of the reliability of the AI algorithms and models deployed.

1.11. Strategies for handling unexpected inputs and edge cases.

During the term of the contract, if any changes occur where new AI will be introduced or the AI functionality originally submitted by the vendor will change. The vendor must send notification a minimum of 45 days prior to implementing any changes to existing or new AI functionality to TxDOT for review by TxDOT to ensure compliance with TxDOT’s policy for Acceptable Artificial Intelligence. TxDOT reserves right to cancel the contract without penalty if any AI functionality will not comply with TxDOT’s policy for Acceptable Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is defined as:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – A machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) System– Any application that contains an AI component regardless of size or usage.

Information Resources Technologies (IRT) – Data processing and telecommunications hardware, software, services, supplies, personnel, facility resources, maintenance, and training. [Source: Texas Government Code, Chapter 2054.003].

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) decision making – Human-in-the-loop decision making involves a human decision-maker working in tandem with AI to improve decision making outcomes.

In HITL systems, the AI system provides input, recommendations, or predictions that the human decision-maker evaluates and approves or rejects.
