Conference: NAIRR: Strengthening & Democratizing The U.S. AI Innovation Ecosystem Summit

经过18个月的公开会议和审议，国家人工智能研究资源（NAIRR）工作组完成了其国会授权，一致批准了一份关于建立国家人工智能研究资源的政策和实践方面的指南。这一过程是经过审议的，包括广泛的利益相关者，他们考虑了一种有效和公平的方法，使人工智能研究资源——包括计算能力、数据、工具包等——可供更广泛的研究人员使用。随着现代人工智能的出现，国会和政府认为这种形式的协作但扩大的投资是必要的，这是推动美国科学事业发展的必要一步。本次研讨会的目的是与来自更广泛生态系统的不同利益相关者群体一起探讨国家人工智能研究资源工作组最终报告的结果，然后确定使用现有和未来机制开始构建此类资源的实际后续步骤。除了各种各样的与会者之外，随后的直播报道将进一步向公众传播研讨会的成果。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

After 18 months of public meetings and deliberation, the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Task Force fulfilled its Congressional mandate, unanimously approving a guide to the policy and practical aspects of building a national resource for AI research. This process has been deliberative and included a wide range of stakeholders in considering an effective and equitable method of making resources for AI research -- including computing power, data, toolkits, and more -- available to a broader universe of researchers. With the advent of modern AI, this form of collaborative yet broadened investment has been deemed necessary by Congress and the Administration, and presents a necessary step forward to grow the U.S. scientific enterprise. The objective of this workshop is to explore the findings of the National AI Research Resource Task Force's final report with a diverse group of stakeholders from the broader ecosystem, and to then determine practical next steps to begin building such a resource using existing and future mechanisms. In addition to the diverse cohort of attendees, a recorded live stream subsequent reporting will further disseminate workshop outcomes to the public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
