Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Secretary of Energy, the Director of the National Science Foundation, any appropriate Federal Advisory Committees, and such other technical experts as the Administrator considers appropriate, shall develop a program to use artificial intelligence to analyze global atmospheric observations in order to carry out the following:
Improve atmospheric transport, dispersion, and atmospheric chemistry models. Improve prediction and modeling of greenhouse gas emissions from data collected through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory, and other voluntary reporting datasets. Detect, monitor, and forecast emissions from wildfires and other natural disasters. Identify significant changes in global emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
Improve data assimilation techniques. In carrying out this section, the Administrator may acquire observational data and synthetic data on the atmosphere and its chemical components to develop, curate, and regularly update a global atmospheric chemistry training dataset for purposes of training artificial intelligence used in furtherance of this section. In carrying out this section, the Administrator may enter into contracts to acquire relevant data referred to in this section.
The Administrator shall develop and disseminate best practices to minimize environmental impacts from the use of artificial intelligence to carry out this section.
