Directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to run a pilot program creating a modular template and technical guidelines for documenting artificial intelligence models and their data, subject to available appropriations.

• Subject to appropriations, NIST develops a structured, modular documentation template for AI models and associated data, working with industry, universities, nonprofits, and international standards organizations.
• The template may cover items such as the model's name, developer and where it is incorporated, release date, training data knowledge cutoff, supported languages, and terms of service.
• NIST publishes a draft in the Federal Register and accepts public comments for at least 60 days before finalizing it on its website.
• Within 12 months of starting the pilot, NIST reports to the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee and the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on its effectiveness and, if effective, a plan for permanent implementation.
