AI-Ready Federal Data Guidelines Act

This bill would require the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), working with other federal officials, to develop voluntary guidelines to help federal agencies prepare datasets, including open government data, for training artificial intelligence models. The guidelines would cover data formatting, labeling, quality checks, documentation, maintenance, and public access. NIST could run up to two pilot programs at a time, each lasting no more than one year, to develop supplemental guidelines for specific sectors such as biotechnology and biomanufacturing. NIST would brief congressional committees each year for five years and could not move money from other NIST programs to carry out this work.
