Notional AI and Autonomy Levels in Commercial Nuclear Activities Notional AI and Potential Uses of AI and Level Autonomy Levels Autonomy in Commercial Nuclear Activities Human Level 1 Insight AI integration in systems is used for optimization, Involvement Human decisionmaking assisted operational guidance, or business process by a machine automation that would not affect plant safety/security and control Level 2 Collaboration AI integration in systems where algorithms make Human decisionmaking recommendations that could affect plant augmented by a machine safety/security and control are vetted and carried out by a human decisionmaker Level 3 Operation AI and autonomy integration in systems where Machine decisionmaking algorithms make decisions and conduct operations supervised by a human with human oversight that could affect plant safety/security and control Level 4 Fully Autonomous Fully autonomous AI in systems where the algorithm Machine decisionmaking with no is responsible for operation, control, and intelligent human intervention adaptation without reliance on human intervention or oversight that could affect plant safety/security Machine and control Independence Common Understanding of the Level Key for Regulatory Readiness

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS AND NEXT STEPS The AI Strategic Plan consists of five strategic goals:

• Goal 1: Ensure NRC Readiness for Regulatory Decisionmaking

• Goal 2: Establish an Organizational Framework to Review AI Applications

• Goal 3: Strengthen and Expand AI Partnerships

• Goal 4: Cultivate an AI-Proficient Workforce

• Goal 5: Pursue Use Cases to Build an AI Foundation Across the NRC Timeframe Milestone July 5, 2022 Issued Draft AI Strategic Plan for public comment August 3, 2022 Host AI Strategic Plan public meeting Joint Subcommittee Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards November 2022 meeting on AI Spring 2023 Issue Final AI Strategic Plan Maintaining public engagement and awareness via our NRC AI Public Website
