International AI Energy Grid Modernization Strategy Act

This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of State to create an international strategy focused on using artificial intelligence to upgrade and secure electrical grids around the world. It requires the development of partnerships with allied nations, academic institutions, and private companies to research and deploy AI tools that can predict grid failures, detect cyber threats, and integrate renewable energy sources. The legislation authorizes funding for pilot projects, workforce training, and technical assistance to help vulnerable regions modernize their power infrastructure while ensuring compliance with U.S. export control laws. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary of State submit regular reports to Congress detailing the progress of these international cooperation efforts and the measurable improvements made to grid resilience.
