On Wednesday, April 29, U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) reintroduced the Creating Resources for Every American to Experiment with Artificial Intelligence Act (CREATE AI Act), legislation that would establish the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR).
The NAIRR is a shared national research infrastructure to connect American researchers and educators to data, software, and tools necessary to advance AI research and development (R&D) and develop AI skills for the U.S. workforce. The legislation will also focus on improving the safety, reliability, and trustworthiness of AI for Americans.
“The United States cannot cede leadership in AI development to China,” Sen. Young said. “For both our economic and national security, we must harness AI’s potential and mitigate its risks. By establishing the National AI Research Resource in statute, the CREATE AI Act will give incredible access and resources to America’s brightest, allowing for advancements in AI innovation, deployment, and safety for our country and ultimately the world.”
The CREATE AI Act would establish NAIRR to do the following:
- Spur innovation and advance the development of safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI research and development.
- Improve access to AI resources for researchers and students
- Expand capacity for AI research in the United States
- Develop tool AI tools for the U.S. workforce
The legislation is supported by Indiana University, AI Policy Network, Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), Cognizant, SeedAI, and Business Software Alliance.
