TAME Extreme Weather Act
The TAME Extreme Weather Act requires Federal agencies, including NOAA, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Energy, to use artificial intelligence to improve weather forecasting, enhance grid resilience, and monitor environmental impacts. Key provisions mandate agencies to create public Earth system reanalysis datasets for AI training, develop AI models for wildfire detection and emissions monitoring, and optimize energy grids using AI. Agencies must make AI models, training datasets, and code publicly available under open licenses while continuing traditional weather observation and research. The bill also requires best practices to minimize environmental impacts of AI use and includes national security reviews for sensitive data. This legislation aims to modernize weather forecasting and climate adaptation through AI while ensuring public access to government-developed tools.
