The National Science Foundation (NSF) has initiated a two-year pilot for the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR), designed to democratize AI by providing scalable computing resources and broadening access to AI tools for researchers, educators, and students. The pilot has garnered support from major tech companies and academic institutions, with Google contributing compute resources and backing the CREATE AI Act for making the NAIRR permanent. Microsoft Research and EleutherAI emphasized the pilot's role in equalizing opportunities and making AI at scale more accessible, with a focus on advancing safe, secure, and trustworthy AI. Stanford's HAI has been a vocal advocate for the NAIRR, highlighting its potential to empower innovation with 21st Century tools and promote public sector AI innovation.
The NAIRR pilot, the NSF said, is designed to create a national resource for researchers and educators to access high-powered AI technologies with the goal of ensuring the US continues to lead in AI research and innovation. https://t.co/GAgkgGsBbD https://t.co/0fTYyyD1hL
