AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Secretary of State, working with other federal agencies, to develop and carry out an international strategy for researching, developing, and using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to modernize electrical grids around the world. The strategy would cover partnerships with other countries and private groups, testing AI grid technologies, access to grid tools in developing and disaster-prone regions, and workforce training. The Secretary of State could support research partnerships, pilot projects, and technical assistance, and would seek cooperative agreements with allied countries that exclude classified or military AI work and follow U.S. export-control laws. The Secretary would report to Congress on progress within 540 days and then once a year for 5 years.
