The National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Task Force released its final report, a roadmap for standing up a national research infrastructure that would broaden access to the resources essential to artificial intelligence (AI) research and development.
While AI research and development (R&D) in the United States is advancing rapidly, opportunities to pursue cutting-edge AI research and new AI applications are often inaccessible to researchers beyond those at well-resourced companies, organizations, and academic institutions. A NAIRR would change that by providing AI researchers and students with significantly expanded access to computational resources, high-quality data, educational tools, and user support—fueling greater innovation and advancing AI that serves the public good.
"AI advances hold tremendous promise for tackling our hardest problems and achieving our greatest aspirations," said Arati Prabhakar, OSTP Director and Assistant to the President for Science and Technology. "We will only realize this potential when many more kinds of researchers have access to the powerful capabilities that underpin AI advances."
