White House Task Force Releases AI Report

The White House this week released its final report on “standing up a national research infrastructure” for artificial intelligence. The report, written by the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Task Force, provides an “implementation plan” to “strengthen and democratize the U.S. AI innovation ecosystem in a way that protects privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.” Among several recommendations in the report, the task force said the NAIRR should have an “independent Operating Entity that manages the day-to-day operations” of the NAIRR. That operating entity should help promote U.S. AI outreach and collaboration with other countries while also complying with “relevant export controls,” the report said.
