A long-running Senate task force has released its policy recommendation for federal AI funding: $32 billion a year, covering everything from infrastructure to grand challenges to national security risk assessments.
This “road map” is not a bill or a detailed policy proposal, but it nevertheless gives a sense of the scale that legislators and “stakeholders” face whenever they consider reality – although the likelihood of this happening in an election year is low. infinitely small.
In a final report released by the office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the bipartisan task force identifies the most important areas of investment to keep the United States competitive with its foreign rivals.
Here are some key elements of the roadmap:
You can read the full report here; there are many more bullet points where the above comes from (a longer list than I had planned to write). No budget figure is suggested.
Given that the next six months will be spent mostly on election-related prevarication, this document serves more to anchor many general ideas than to spur concrete legislation. Much of what is proposed would require months, if not years, of research and iterations before arriving at a law or rule.
The AI industry is evolving faster than the rest of the technology sector, which means it is outpacing the federal government by orders of magnitude. Although the priorities listed above are mostly conservative, it is questionable how many of them will remain relevant by the time Congress or the White House actually takes action.
