A new report from the Bipartisan Policy Center and the Center for New American Security recommends that the federal government double studies and spending progression in synthetic intelligence and construction studies and investment progression for AI’s efforts to $25 billion through fiscal year 2025.
Thursday’s report makes 14 recommendations to U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence. BPC and CNAS prepare the report in consultation with Representatives Will Hurd (R-Texas) and Robin Kelly (D-Ill.).
“We are calling for significant investment in studies and expenses of progression from the federal government,” Hurd, a two-time Wash100 award winner, said in an email. “Investing in studies and progression can mean only taking years to see tangible results, which can be tricky in an environment with so many investment priorities. But AI will be an enabling generation of the future.”
The report also calls on the United States to diversify and expand its computing capacity by calling for a functioning organization to shape a national knowledge and computing resource; Responding to the desire to expand broadband in rural areas; and the advent of a competitive grant program for universities to provide affordable, accessible, high-quality graphics processing computers and equipment in rural and under- neglected areas.
The document classified the remaining recommendations into 4 other principles, adding the role of the federal government in encouraging RD in the personal sector and a desire for foreign cooperation to advance RD’s AI efforts.
