International Artificial Intelligence Research Partnership Act of 2024

This bill establishes a program for U.S. cities to partner with international cities on non-national security AI research, primarily focusing on economic cooperation and workforce development. The Secretary of State (via public-private partnerships) will coordinate these efforts, align with National Science Foundation priorities, and ensure foreign cities meet eligibility criteria (excluding "countries of concern" or those deemed detrimental to U.S. security). It allocates $20 million annually (2025-2028) for implementation and requires annual reports on partnership activities, research scope, and challenges. The bill explicitly prohibits security-related AI research and mandates adherence to export controls.
