Initiative overview
The National AI Initiative Act of 2020 called on the National Science Foundation (NSF), in coordination with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), to form a National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Task Force to investigate the feasibility of establishing a NAIRR, and develop a roadmap detailing how such a resource could be established and sustained. The NAIRR is envisioned as a shared computing and data infrastructure that will provide AI researchers and students across scientific fields and disciplines with access to compute resources and high-quality data, along with appropriate educational tools and user support. On January 24, 2023, the NAIRR Task Force submitted its final report to the President and Congress. The report proposes an implementation roadmap for the NAIRR that would build on existing and future Federal investments; design in protections for privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties; and promote diversity and equitable access. It lays out a phased approach to stand up the administration, policies, security framework, and cyberinfrastructure that would support the full spectrum of AI research “ from foundational to use-inspired to translational.The initiative has the following objective(s):(1) Spur innovation, (2) increase diversity of talent, (3) improve capacity, and (4) advancetrustworthy AI.
