Promoting United States Leadership in Standards Act of 2024

This bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to enhance U.S. leadership in developing global technical standards for artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. It requires NIST to provide Congress with a briefing on standards opportunities, create a public web portal listing international standards efforts and participation opportunities, and establish a 5-year pilot program to fund U.S.-hosted standards meetings. The pilot offers grants (up to 50% of hosting costs, capped at $5 million total) to eligible organizations developing AI/tech standards or hosting such standards bodies. This directly affects federal agencies (which must report their participation), U.S. industry groups, and standards organizations seeking to host international meetings in the United States.
