The International AI Energy Grid Modernization Strategy Act directs the Secretary of State to develop and coordinate a global strategy for using artificial intelligence to modernize electrical grids worldwide. The bill addresses challenges facing aging power infrastructure—including vulnerability to cyberattacks, extreme weather, and natural disasters—by promoting international partnerships, research, and deployment of AI technologies that can monitor grids in real-time, predict maintenance needs, detect cyber threats, and integrate renewable energy sources. The strategy will involve collaboration with allied countries, academic institutions, and private companies, with particular emphasis on providing equitable access to developing and disaster-prone regions and building local technical capacity through workforce training. The Secretary of State must report to Congress within 540 days of enactment and annually thereafter for five years on progress made, including partnerships established, technologies developed, pilot project outcomes, and measurable improvements to grid resilience, while ensuring all activities comply with U.S. export control laws and do not involve classified military information. The bill does not specify a funding amount, leaving appropriations to be determined through separate congressional action.
