Within one year, NOAA would set up an AI program to warn at‑risk communities and responders, predict and detect fires, track spread, and forecast smoke. The work would coordinate with Interior, Agriculture, Homeland Security, and other experts. NOAA could buy observational and synthetic data, award… - Better forecasts with AI data and models: benefit, high. This bill would push NOAA to build AI-ready weather datasets within two years and keep core observing and numerical models strong. NOAA could develop and test a global AI weather model and report to Congress within two years, then at least yearly. It would back a common way to assess models and req… - Help forecasters use AI models: benefit, medium. NOAA would regularly list and assess major non‑Federal AI weather models and share best practices to combine AI and numerical outputs. It would support testing in NOAA testbeds and help emergency managers use these tools safely. NOAA forecast offices would provide technical help and guidance to put… - Train a new AI weather workforce: benefit, low. NOAA would work to recruit and keep a professional AI‑enabled forecasting workforce. It would partner with private experts and offer training and long‑term career development tied to AI forecasting. - Open NOAA AI data with safeguards: mixed, medium. NOAA could release data and code from this Act to the public for free under an open license. Release would be optional and could be limited to protect national security, intellectual property, trade secrets, contract terms, or NOAA’s life‑safety mission.
