Bill > HR2770

This bill directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop and implement advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for improving weather forecasting, wildfire prediction, and environmental modeling. The legislation establishes comprehensive programs to create AI-driven weather models, training datasets, and innovative partnerships with private and academic sectors. Key provisions include developing AI weather models that can make predictions about Earth system conditions, exploring advanced AI applications for improving forecast accuracy and societal impact, creating a fire environment modeling program to predict and detect wildfires, and establishing technical assistance mechanisms to evaluate and support AI weather modeling efforts. The bill also emphasizes developing a skilled workforce capable of leveraging AI technologies, ensuring data accessibility while protecting national security and intellectual property interests, and maintaining continued support for traditional observational and numerical weather modeling techniques. Additionally, the legislation requires regular reporting to congressional committees on the progress and effectiveness of these AI-driven initiatives, with a focus on enhancing public understanding, preparedness, and resilience in the face of extreme weather events and environmental challenges.
