S 1269 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Promoting United States Leadership in Standards Act of 2025

This bill aims to increase U.S. involvement in global technical standards for artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. It requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide Congress with a briefing on U.S. participation opportunities, create a public web portal listing international standards efforts, and launch a 5-year pilot program. The pilot program will offer grants (up to $5 million total) to U.S. organizations hosting international standards meetings, covering costs like venue and planning. These efforts target U.S. industry and federal agencies working on AI/tech standards, with annual reports to Congress and a requirement to propose permanent implementation if the pilot succeeds.
