This bill, known as the "CREATE AI Act," mandates the establishment of the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) within one year, under the oversight of the National Science Foundation. The primary purpose of the NAIRR is to significantly advance artificial intelligence research and foster the development of AI skills across the United States workforce. It will function by connecting U.S. researchers and educators to a comprehensive suite of resources, including computational power, data sets, software, and educational materials, contributed by various government and non-governmental entities. A dedicated Program Management Office will be created within the National Science Foundation to manage the NAIRR's budget, coordinate resource contributions, and establish operational policies and procedures. Eligible users for the NAIRR include U.S.-based researchers, educators, and students affiliated with institutions of higher education, non-profits, government agencies, federally funded research centers, and small businesses. The bill also incorporates robust research security measures, including compliance with National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 and restrictions on access for individuals from certain foreign countries, while encouraging the use of open-source software. An advisory committee will be established to provide ongoing assessment and recommendations for the NAIRR's activities.
