## Summary

**A national AI-enabled Earth system forecasting system** aims to speed up and improve forecasts for weather, water, space weather, and wildfires. It sets rules to build shared training datasets, create operational and experimental AI weather models, and push those tools into real-world forecasting and risk communication. - Families and communities get clearer local forecasts and improved wildfire and hazard communications to help prepare and respond to threats. - Forecasters, emergency managers, and researchers gain funded datasets, technical assistance, training, and a common model-assessment framework. The bill requires comprehensive training datasets within four years and directs creation of global and regional AI weather models. - The private sector, academia, and international partners can form new co-investment and data-sharing arrangements with shared intellectual property options. Federal agencies must still protect national security, trade secrets, and contract-restricted data and report on foreign access risks. *Authorizes up to $820 million in appropriations through 2030, which would increase federal spending if those amounts are enacted.*
