AI Mandate for Extreme Weather Adaptation and Energy Grid Optimization

This Act mandates federal agencies to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve forecasting and response to extreme weather events. Citizens will benefit from more accurate weather predictions, faster wildfire warnings, and more stable electricity supply due to grid optimization. Furthermore, AI will be used to combat illegal timber trade and monitor emissions, positively impacting the environment and public safety.
Key points
More accurate weather forecasts: NOAA must develop new AI-based weather models, leading to better warnings and planning for communities.
Energy grid stability: The Department of Energy will use AI to optimize energy grids, minimizing power loss, outages, and surges, thus increasing supply reliability.
Early wildfire warnings: A program will use AI to analyze data for earlier wildfire detection and propagation forecasting, protecting lives and property.
Combating illegal trade: The Department of Agriculture will use AI to monitor deforestation and predict illegal wood product movements, supporting law enforcement.
Public data access: Many AI models, code, and training datasets (excluding national security sensitive information) will be made publicly available to foster external innovation.
