Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Secretary of Energy, the Director of the National Science Foundation, the Director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the Environmental Information Services Working Group, and such other technical experts as the Administrator considers appropriate, shall develop a program to use artificial intelligence to analyze available data on the built and natural environments in order to— warn and protect at-risk communities, firefighters, and other responders; detect wildfires as early as possible; and forecast wildfire propagation and combustion risks based on an analysis of the availability of combustible materials in the built and natural environments.
In carrying out this section, the Administrator shall gather observational data and synthetic data on the built and natural environments collected across the Federal Government to develop and curate a related training dataset for purposes of training the artificial intelligence technology used in furtherance of this section. In carrying out this section, the Administrator may contract to acquire relevant data. In carrying out this section, the Administrator shall integrate outputs from weather and other environmental models and data.
The Administrator shall develop and disseminate best practices to minimize environmental impacts from the use of artificial intelligence technology to carry out this section. Subject to section 109, the Administrator shall make available to the public, at no-cost and with no restrictions on copying, publishing, distributing, citing, adapting, or otherwise using under an open license, the code for the artificial intelligence used under subsection
(a)and the training dataset developed under subsection (b).
