Unlocking Public Sector AI Innovation: Next Steps for the National AI Research Resource

The EO seeks to promote innovation and competition through a pilot of the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR), which can provide access to much-needed compute and datasets for academics, nonprofit researchers, and startups. Earlier this year, Congress had introduced a bi-partisan, bicameral CREATE AI Act, which also supports the establishment of this public AI infrastructure. NAIRR aims to strengthen academic AI innovation driven by societal benefits through catalyzing groundbreaking advancements reminiscent of academic triumphs such as GPS, CRISPR, and the internet.

Watch the recording below to hear Stanford faculty and researchers, Fei-Fei Li, Russ Altman, and Jennifer King, for a discussion on how academia can capitalize on the opportunities NAIRR brings featuring a keynote address by U.S. Representative Anna Eshoo, co-chair of the Congressional AI Caucus, and co-sponsor of the CREATE AI Act.
