Bill > HR2385

This bill establishes the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR), a comprehensive initiative designed to democratize access to artificial intelligence (AI) research resources. The bill aims to address the current limitation where cutting-edge AI research is primarily accessible only to large technology companies by creating a national infrastructure that provides researchers, educators, and students with computational resources, datasets, educational tools, and AI testbeds. The NAIRR will be governed by a Steering Subcommittee chaired by the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and managed by a Program Management Office within the National Science Foundation. Eligible users include U.S.-based researchers, students, and institutions such as universities, nonprofits, government agencies, and small businesses. The resource will prioritize projects focused on AI privacy, ethics, safety, and trustworthiness, and will implement robust security measures and scientific integrity guidelines. The NAIRR will offer a mix of computational resources, including cloud services and open-source software environments, curated datasets, educational materials, and AI testbeds, with the ultimate goal of spurring innovation, improving AI research capacity, and ensuring that AI development benefits a diverse range of stakeholders across the United States.
