Revised Research and Development Strategic Blueprint Affirms Government's Dedication to Artificial Intelligence Advancements
The White House has recently updated its National Artificial Intelligence R&D Strategic Plan, with a focus on ensuring that federal AI research and development (R&D) dollars continue to have high-impact and high return on investment.
The updated plan recognizes the value of AI to U.S. interests and aims to maintain U.S. leadership in this field. It establishes a new focus on public-private partnerships to expand resources for AI R&D, and encourages the use of these partnerships to drive innovation and progress.
The Center for Data Innovation, a think tank that advocates for the use of data-driven policies, has welcomed the updated plan. The Center believes that robust government support for R&D is necessary for the United States to lead in the AI economy.
The updated plan prioritizes federally funded research around AI advancements that can improve the economy, society, and national security. It emphasizes the importance of using AI to improve various sectors, including the economy, society, and national security.
The report, which was released in December, lays out six overarching goals, although it does not specify their exact nature. The plan also includes 40 specific policy recommendations, although the report does not detail these recommendations.
The report does not replace the updated AI R&D Strategic Plan, but rather serves as a complementary document to support AI development and adoption. The partners involved in the new AI research development priorities under the White House's new strategy include the US Center for AI Standards and Innovation and the UK's AI Security Institute, as part of a deeper US-UK collaboration to enhance scientific and technological cooperation, coordinated policy approaches, and innovation frameworks.
The updated plan is expected to guide federal funding agencies in their AI R&D efforts, and the recommendations are for both Congress and the administration. The strategic plan aims to continue U.S. leadership in AI, support AI development and adoption, and ensure that federal AI R&D dollars continue to have high-impact and high return on investment.
