AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create, within 2 years, definitions, standards, data management resources, and cybersecurity frameworks so that biological datasets produced by certain federally funded research are ready for use in training artificial intelligence models. NIST would also set or revise data management policies for each federal agency that funds such research, requiring that covered datasets meet these standards. The bill creates an advisory group of at least 12 members, requires public input, testing of the standards with the National Science Foundation, a public database of AI-ready biological datasets, and regular reports to Congress. The section would end 10 years after enactment.
