AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop standards and guidelines to help federal agencies make open government data usable for building and training artificial intelligence. The standards would call for data to be downloadable, accurate, human-readable, in open machine-readable formats, and protective of privacy, and NIST would take public comment for at least 60 days and publish the standards within one year. NIST would review the standards at least every two years. The President, through the White House science office, would then require each federal agency to adopt the standards. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration would also have to make its weather and environmental data support AI use in forecasting and brief Congress each year for five years.
