The National AI Initiative Act <\/a>was passed by the US Congress January 1st. The legislation enables funding for AI research and development across a number of US federal agencies. The law authorizes billions of dollars to be made available to agencies like the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the national Science Foundation and the Department of Energy. A total of $6.4 billion would be spent over a period of five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Samp<\/a>, a lobbyist for DLA Piper, said that<\/a> “it\u2019s the closest thing to a national strategy on AI from the United States to be officially embraced by Congress.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Bernice Johnson <\/a>(D-TX) and Ranking Member Frank Lucas<\/a> (R-OK), said in a statement that<\/a> “the passage of the National AI Initiative Act sends a signal to both our allies and adversaries that the United States will continue to be a global leader in the development and adoption of trustworthy artificial intelligence. This legislation will create a broad national strategy to accelerate our investments in the responsible research and development of this critical technology, and the education and training of an AI workforce in the United States.”<\/p>\n
