Directs the Department of Energy and NOAA to collaborate on AI and high-performance computing for climate and weather modeling. Establishes competitive processes, data sharing, and infrastructure improvements, with progress reports required two years post-enactment. Termination occurs five years post-enactment.

This is a binding federal statute enacted by the United States Congress with mandatory obligations on federal agencies (Department of Energy and NOAA), enforceable through congressional oversight and appropriations authority.
This document has minimal risk domain coverage, with only subdomain 6.4 (Competitive dynamics) receiving a coverage score of 2. The document primarily focuses on collaborative research infrastructure and does not substantively address AI risks or harms as defined in the MIT taxonomy.
This Act primarily governs AI use in Public Administration (specifically federal agencies DOE and NOAA conducting weather and climate research) and Scientific Research and Development Services (collaborative research activities). It does not regulate private sector entities but rather directs federal government research coordination.
The document covers multiple AI lifecycle stages with primary focus on Build and Use Model (AI development for weather/climate modeling), Verify and Validate (proof of concept scenarios, comparative research), and Operate and Monitor (real-time forecasting, ongoing research coordination). It also addresses Plan and Design through collaborative research planning and Data collection through large-scale data analytics provisions.
The document explicitly mentions AI systems, machine learning, and high performance computing for weather and climate modeling. It does not mention frontier AI, general purpose AI, task-specific AI, foundation models, generative AI, predictive AI, open-weight models, or specific compute thresholds. The focus is on applied AI for numerical weather prediction and climate modeling.
United States Congress; House of Representatives
The document is a Congressional Act passed by the House of Representatives and received by the Senate, indicating Congress as the proposing authority.
Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives; Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate
Congressional committees are designated to receive mandatory reports and conduct oversight of the activities, providing enforcement through congressional oversight mechanisms.
Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives; Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate
The same congressional committees that enforce also monitor implementation through mandatory progress reports due two years after enactment, evaluating interagency coordination, technical capabilities, research achievements, and future opportunities.
Department of Energy; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; National Laboratories; institutions of higher education; nonprofit institutions; Federal agencies
The Act directs the Department of Energy and NOAA to conduct collaborative research activities, with participation from National Laboratories, universities, nonprofits, and other federal agencies through competitive processes.
