AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to build and maintain weather forecasting training datasets for artificial intelligence within 4 years, and allows it to develop and test AI-based global, regional, and local weather models. NOAA must keep supporting traditional weather observations and numerical weather models, give technical help to forecasters and emergency managers using AI models, and report to Congress every 2 years through 2035. It requires a plan to make NOAA's AI weather models and related data available to the public at no cost, while allowing NOAA to withhold models or data to protect national security. It also requires a report on risks from foreign countries of concern accessing U.S. weather data, and authorizes $105 million for fiscal year 2026 and $25 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
