New tools would help US businesses and agencies lead in setting global AI and tech standards.
This bill would create new online tools and a grant program. These would help American businesses and federal agencies play a bigger role in setting global rules for artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. The goal is to make sure the U.S. has a strong voice in how these important technologies are developed worldwide.
Today, no specific federal requirement or coordinated effort exists for the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Department of State to boost U.S. involvement in setting global technical standards for AI and other advanced technologies. If this bill passes, it would create a dedicated web portal for information. It would also establish a pilot grant program to support U.S.-hosted standards meetings with $5 million in funding over five years. Additionally, it would require federal agencies to report their participation in these activities.
