Artificial Intelligence-Ready Data Act
This bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to create standards and guidelines for making federal government data easier for artificial intelligence systems to use. It requires federal agencies to make their open data available in machine-readable formats, ensure data quality and documentation, and address privacy and intellectual property concerns. The bill mandates a public comment process and requires the President to issue requirements for agencies to adopt these standards within one year of enactment. Additionally, it specifically requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to prepare its weather and climate data for AI and machine learning applications in forecasting.
