The House Science, Space and Technology Committee yanked a bill Wednesday that would have set guidelines for the federal government to use artificial intelligence in extreme weather prediction.
Rep. Scott Franklin (R-Fla.) introduced H.R. 9498, the “Transformational Artificial Intelligence to Modernize the Economy (TAME) Against Extreme Weather Act,” last week. It was set to be marked up Wednesday.
But leaders worried the bill was incomplete, said Republican spokesperson Heather Vaughan. “The bill just wasn’t fully cooked, and we couldn’t get it ready for markup in time,” Vaughan told POLITICO’s E&E News.
Vaughan said there is a “good chance” that they will revisit the bill in a markup later in the fall. Franklin’s office said he plans to consider changes before the committee moves forward.
