Boosts weather forecasts and wildfire warnings by using artificial intelligence at NOAA.

This bill would make the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) use artificial intelligence to improve how it forecasts extreme weather and detects wildfires. This means communities, firefighters, and the public could get more accurate and timely warnings. This would help them prepare better for dangerous events.

What Would Change

If this bill becomes law, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) would be directed to develop new artificial intelligence programs. This includes building crucial datasets and creating advanced models to significantly improve how the nation forecasts extreme weather and warns about wildfires.

Key Provisions

Requires NOAA to continue supporting its traditional activities, like collecting observational data and developing numerical weather models.
Allows NOAA to develop and test a global artificial intelligence weather model.
Creates a new artificial intelligence program at NOAA to predict, detect, and forecast wildfires and their impacts, providing warnings to communities and firefighters within one year of the bill being signed into law.
